Opportunities & Industry out Look

The real estate is the second largest employer after
agriculture and is slated to grow at 30% over the
next decade. The real estate sector comprises of
four sub sectors - housing, retail, hospitality, and
commercial. The growth of this sector is well
complemented by the growth of the corporate
environment and the demand for office space as
well as urban and semi-urban accommodations.

The construction industry ranks third among the
14 major sectors in terms of direct, indirect and
induced effects in all sectors of the economy. The
global warehousing and storage industry has
witnessed significant growth during the last five
years. The Indian warehousing industry is set to
grow at a CAGR of 8%—10% and modern
warehousing at 25%- 30% over the next 5 years
due to various factors including the anticipated
increase in global demand, growth in organized
retail and increasing manufacturing activities,
presence of extremely affordable and desirable e-
commerce options and growth in international
trade. The Government of India along with the
governments of the respective states have taken
several initiatives to encourage the development
in the sector. The Smart City Project, where there
is a plan to build 100 smart cities, is a prime
opportunity for the real estate companies. While
Goods and Services Tax (GST) continues to
remain in a state where several loose ends still
need to be tied up, logistics companies - both
domestic and global, are not just bullish about the
sector but are actively making investment plans
for the coming fiscals as well. It may increase the
demand of hi-tech large modern Warehouses,
Logistics Parks etc. As India awaits policy reforms
to pick up speed, your Company firmly believes
that the demand for Real Estate & Warehousing
in India should remain strong in the medium to
long term.
