The government has dropped a proposal for imposing a minimum 51 % mandatory export obligation on such units. There would be no changes in the present SEZ rules, which lay down that SEZ units need to be only net foreign exchange earners.     The decision taken at a recent meeting of the empowered group of ministers (eGoM) on SEZs would come as a huge relief to investors in SEZ units, both foreign and domestic, as they would not be forced to start exporting from the first year of operations.                                            “There are a number of cases, like the Nokia unit in Sriperumbudur, where investors did not export much in the first year. However, they started exporting a huge chunk of their total production...

SOME SIMPLE STEPS WILL ENSURE YOUR HOUSE IS SAFE FROM THE RAINS. The rains can be a source of many problems within a house. Rain proofing your home or protecting it from the monsoons is therefore vital during this season. One important need for homes and gardens is adequate sunlight. Make some small changes in your spaces to compensate for the lack of this during the rainy season. Since rooms tend to get darker during daytime from lack of enough light, replace heavy drapes with light ones and in pastel shades so that more light filters through. Roll up the blinds during the day, especially those in verandahs and terraces so that they allow light to enter.    A skylight works well especially during the rainy season (and winter too) since it brings in additional light and warmth to the home. So, it is good to install one, along with safety features, while building a home...

On an average, a DDA flat is on offer at half the price of apartments being developed by private developers.   "Customers are calling us to find out the resale value of DDA flats, which they may be alloted. The profit that a customer will make on the resale would range between Rs 35 lakh and 50 lakh for a three-bedroom apartment of 1,614 square feet in the west Delhi locality of Pitampura", said a property broker based in the area.   The resale value of a 900 sq feet DDA apartment in Pitampura is pegged at between Rs 60 lakh and Rs 65 lakh.   Last month, the DDA announced a housing scheme in which it has put on offer 5,020 one-, two- and...

Not surprisingly, the NRIs are investing in various sectors, including real estate. Several real estate projects across India have garnered approximately 10-20 percent participation from NRIs. The return on investment provided by real estate here has been found to be more attractive than that offered by developed nations.

Take Mahindra & Mahindra’s upcoming special economic zone in Jaipur. The company has squeezed the construction time for a commercial building to nine months from the normal 12-15 months.

The move is aimed at offering developers increased efficiency in construction and saving their time and money.     As a consequence of the slowdown and a tighter monetary regime, Indian real estate developers are in no position to afford delays in their projects as it leads to cost overruns and increases the interest burden on company borrowings. The project management consultancy business is growing at 40-45 per cent year-on-year. Major consultants like CB Richard Ellis, Cushman & Wakefield Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj are looking at increasing their revenues from this business.     In the past few months, Cushman & Wakefield has witnessed a significant increase in enquiries from developers about project management consultancy services.
