In the first step taken to supply the Adibatla Special Economic Zone (SEZ) its required amount of water, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) on Monday released 250 kilo litres to 1,200 acre area.

With the kick-starting of the water supply to Adibatla, the water board is all set to increase pumping as the SEZ develops and companies begin operations.

“The required amount for the entire 1,200 acre area is nine million litres per day (MLD). As of now, we have set up a five MLD clear water reservoir there, along a nine kilometre 600 millimetre (mm) pipeline,” explained a senior HMWSSB official. The official said currently the 250 kilo litres supply per day is being given from Krishna phase - II project, and the remainder of the water supply in the future to the Adibatla SEZ will be supplied from Krishna phase – III project, once it is completed next year. He, however, did not reveal the cost at which water is being supplied to the companies which have begun operations there. Supplying nine MLD to the Adibatla SEZ in the future would not affect the city’s water supply at all, said the official. HMWSSB Managing Director M. Jagadeeshwar and other officials were present.

Adibatla job market to push South Hyderabad realty

Oct 6, 2014, 11:16PM IST

After Hitec City and Gachibowli, it is Adibatla which is expected to make real estate waves. The locality, touted as the next IT hub, is seeing many IT companies setting up offices here. The locality is also a part of the Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) project, under which Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and industrial parks are expected to be developed throughout the city.

Venkateswara Rao, owner of VR Properties says, “Recently, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) started its project construction activities in Adibatla. Apart from this, Cognizant, the IT giant, has also acquired land in the area.”

Impact on South Hyderabad’s realty:

“Currently, South Hyderabad real estate market is not as matured as West Hyderabad. Here, plotted developments are mostly available, while apartments are still developing. There were not enough job opportunities in this part of Hyderabad that could drive housing demand. Most of the IT and software companies are concentrated towards West Hyderabad,” says Zubair Bin Sayeed Baghazal, proprietor,

RZ Home Property Brokerage Services.

The commercial set-ups by TCS and Cognizant are expected to push the real estate market here. “These commercial set-ups are likely to generate more than 25,000 jobs by the end of this fiscal year
and another 40,000 in the next 3-5 years. This will certainly push up the demand for capital as well as rental market in and around the area,” says Bangaru Bharath Kumar, owner of Mahima Properties.

In addition, the government recently declared that ITIR will open 15 lakh direct and 35 lakh indirect jobs in the IT sector over the next five years. “The push in demand certainly bumps up the real estate values too. However, it would be too early to quote how much the appreciation would be. This is also because there are still land banks available for development, if one goes towards the outskirts of South Hyderabad,” adds Kumar.

What is currently available?

For multi-storey buildings in South Hyderabad, one can try areas such as Shankarpalli, Kokapet, LB Nagar and Shamshabad in South Hyderabad, where you can find an apartment within Rs 20-40 lakh. “South Hyderabad is in the outskirts of the city thus, offering land at lesser values. This makes developers offer properties at affordable rates. Currently, there are not much ready-to-move-in apartments available, therefore, the rental market will take a while to pick up,” says Santhosh Kumar of Sri Rama Real Estates.

For plots, one can look at areas such as Adibatla, Shad Nagar, Kothur and Shamshabad. The data with
Magicbricks shows that these areas offer maximum number of plots within Rs 5-10 lakh. The sizes of
these plots vary from 60-300 sq yard. Most of these are open plots and approved by Hyderabad

Municipal Development Authority (HMDA).

With this it is evident that South Hyderabad real estate market is likely to pick up. But will it ever
come on the same page with West Hyderabad? We have to wait and watch for this!

Hyderabad likely to witness shortfall in realty space

Source: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/real-estate/hyderabad-projected-to-see-shortfall-in-realty-space/article6519403.ece

Hyderabad, Oct 20:

With an estimated overall demand-supply gap of around 231,000 units until 2018, Hyderabad is likely to witness one of the highest shortfalls due to the comparatively low supply scheduled to be delivered in the next five years, according to the latest study by real estate consultancy Cushman & Wakefield.

By 2018, Hyderabad is expected to witness an additional demand for around 2,91,000 units across all segments. Of this, the lower income group is expected to be 42 per cent and the MIG around 36 per cent. Steady growth in services sector, mostly driven by IT-ITeS sector, has been responsible for migration of people from across the country to the city.

With the political uncertainty over the Telangana issue being sorted and considering that the city already possesses ready physical and social infrastructure, Hyderabad is poised for higher growth.

As companies begin expanding their operations in the city, housing demand is likely to increase significantly.

Sanjay Dutt, Executive Managing Director, South Asia, Cushman & Wakefield, in a statement said: “The private sector housing, which is largely responsible for creating housing in India, has been grappling with many issues such as rising input costs, expensive land valuations, outdated building norms, restricted access to funding, serious delays in regulatory processes and uncertain economic conditions resulting in poor and/or slow sales volumes, all of which have resulted in holding back the growth of this sector since the last 2-3 years. Consequently, the demand-supply imbalances across cities have been becoming more pronounced.”

The additional or new demand that is expected to be generated in 2014-2018 is calculated based on the past trends of population and household growth and the income classification for households.

National demand

The total new demand for urban housing in India is expected to be nearly 13 million units by the end of 2018 on account of the burgeoning population in urban centres. This is in addition to the already existing unmet demand. Of the total additional demand, the top eight cities are likely to constitute 23 per cent or 2.95 million units.

Delhi-NCR is likely to have the highest supply of 516,000 units over the next five years, followed by Bangalore with around 2,43,000 units and Mumbai with 2,03,000 units, as per the report.
