A recent study of the RBI reveals that private capital expenditure is set to make a new record with a whooping surge of 54%. Compared to last year, 2023–24, of Rs. 1.59 lakh crore, it is expected to touch Rs. 2.45 lakh crore, setting a new benchmark. For FY 2024, the cumulative cost of the projects accounts for Rs. 3.91 lakh crore. Out of this, nearly 54% of planned investments are near completion. Moreover, the total private capex intended for FY24 through various channels was recorded as Rs. 4.03 lakh crore, which is 56.6% higher than last year’s planned capex. In comparison to last year's Rs. 1.17 lakh crore current financial year, it is expected to reach Rs. 1.68 lakh crore.

The study further reveals the trend and distribution of investment patterns.

Reason for change: RBI’s study further illustrates the reason for this trend as strong domestic demand, optimistic business sentiments, government support and spending towards infrastructure development, a positive investment climate, and various other reasons.

Taxing super rich- a harakiri decisions to development

Pareto-propagated optimality criteria are indeed a great idea for policy making. However, the naive citizen with bigotry and hatred blames capitalism for inequality. It is noteworthy to mention that one cannot be made better off without making someone worse off. The rising number of super-rich in economies is often condemned for widening the rift between rich and poor. However, the progressive tax regime devised to narrow the gap seems to be more radical, as 74% of Indians support taxing the super-rich class.

Sensex slips amid a fake row over capital gain taxation.

A rumour of equal capital gain application on short-term and long-term gains hit the market badly, resulting in a fall in Sensex by more than 1000 points on Friday. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaram took a stand and released a statement on social networking platform Twitter to clear the wind. The row seems over now; however, it has given a new boost to the discussion over tax abnormalities prevailing in the context of short- and long-term capital gains. Many tax consultants and specialists also expect that the government may introduce a fresh tax regime to address the concerns related to such implications. It is worth noticing that in the case of short-term gains, taxation charges are 15%, whereas for long-term gains, it is 10%. Moreover, selling securities in less than a year is considered a short-term gain, while more than a year’s duration makes it a long-term gain. In addition, several other concerns are yet to be discussed and clarified on priority.

RBI’s new provision pushes back the financing of under-construction infrastructure projects.

The recent guidelines of India’s apex bank, the RBI, caused a pushing-back approach to the galloping reality sector. It resulted in a downturn in shares of IREDA, REC Limited, and Power Finance Corporation on Monday. RBI’s recent mandate proposed additional provisioning against loans for under-construction infrastructure projects and strictly monitoring the projects if any irregularities in payment are found. This decision is being considered a proactive measure of RBI for the year 2012–13, in which banks sanctioned infrastructural loans on a large scale, many of which were defaulted. However, the guidelines have not been finalized yet, and asked for suggestions until June 15th to finalize the draft. As per the present guidelines, banks have been told to set a 5% additional amount of the total loan as a provision for under-construction infrastructure projects. Giving a respite in the same RBI says that upon the commencement of the project, it can be reduced to 2.5%, and on-time payment of EMIs can further reduce it to 1%. Earlier, the provisioning was 0.4%. The RBI believes that through this process, banks will be able to secure sufficient funds to run their operations.

The interim budget expectation raises high hopes for real estate.

The central government’s plan to bring the budget before the election has many crucial implications for home buyers and developers alike. Experts believe there will be a tailwind to the Indian economy if the Indian central bank further cuts down the interest rate. The Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) also believes to have a steady REPO rate until the second quarter. In a similar fashion, the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) has also appealed to Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitaraman, seeking respite in the GST tax regime, and also demanded a Rs. 50,000 crore fund. Following the trail of events, it is also believed that the government may also declare tax relaxation up to Rs. 5 lakh to boost economic growth and allure voters.

How India’s growth projection is a good sign for the real estate sector

Amid the global slowdown and escalating oil prices, India finally has good news. The demand-driven economy witnesses a paradigm shift and is leading the way to becoming a global leader. The recent update comes from the National Statistical Office (N.S.O.), where economic growth is projected to be as high as 7.3% in the current financial year. N.S.O.’s projection also shows stronger faith in the economy, defying the earlier projection of the RBI of 7% and higher than the previous projection of growth of 6.5%. The current fiscal year will be over by the end of March this year.

Moreover, the present growth projection is based on the performance of three major sectors, namely manufacturing, construction, and mining. However, the construction sector accounted for 10.7% of the expansion, surpassing mining at 8.1% and manufacturing at 6.5%. In addition, a strong projection of the interim budget before the Lok Sabha election and the expectation of a steady repo rate, along with raising the bar of income tax, may also fuel the growth, as per experts opinions. The estimated GDP is also expected to be 8.9%

Why is tech giant Foxconn very positive about Dholera?

The economic tailwind is taking a paradigm shift, and nations like India are witnessing a new dawn. All eyes are on India, and expectations are mounting. The evidence is so pervasive that it is hard to go unnoticed. At least that is what most of the global leaders and speakers believe. The most recent addition to the list is Taiwan’s largest electronics manufacturer, Foxconn’s Chairman, Young Liu. The tech giant eyes the Indian market and is overwhelmed with the prospects, which are huge opportunities.

Liu adds that it took him 30 years to build the entire supply chain in China, whereas a lesser amount of time will be required in India. His statement is an advocacy for the Make in India and Production-Linked Incentives (PLI) initiatives of the Indian Government and holds investment opportunities for tech-based manufacturing companies as well as infrastructural development companies alike. Similar to Foxconn, HP, Dell, Lenovo, and 40 other IT hardware manufacturing companies have applied for PLI. The Indian arm of Foxconn has already crossed a turnover threshold of close to USD 10 billion on an annual basis.

Since Dholera, the prominent region of Gujrat, is emerging as a potential manufacturing hub and home to various chip-based industries (semiconductors), investment in this location is gaining popularity with an assured return and high yield for investors. The construction of Dholera International Airport and the Greenfield Expressway is expected to be completed by 2024. like giant IT solution giants like CISCO and IBM, are already roped in to contribute to the development of world-class smart cities. All these portray a rosy picture of Dholera and project a great investment opportunity.

India's growth trajectory is a new hope for property investment. (in context of ADB’s president’s recent statement)

In a recent edition, ADB president Masatugu Asakawa shared his views on the development of the Indian economy and trusted its growth in the coming years. This news blog is important from various perspectives, as India is the only country where demographic dividends post strong domestic demand and ward off the effects of the global slowdown. The global demand is expected to be weaker than the previous year, and no further respite can be expected by the year 2024. However, the first half of the growth of developed nations like the US and Japan might surprise most of us, but we need to understand that the initiative of interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve and European banks is fueling it. The growth of Asian and Pacific regions is supposed to be close to 5% this year and next year.

Moreover, the collapse of China’s property market is a clear sign of headwinds due to the domestic real estate sector and weaker global demand. Worries loom over as exporters from China are concerned over the property-induced slowdown. In the Indian context, such things can be very advantageous to enter into a new trajectory and act as a tailwind to become a $5 trillion economy at a faster pace. However, to maintain fast-paced economic growth, the role of private investment and multilateral development banks (MDBs) will be the most desired phenomena. The Indian government’s infrastructure development and ease of doing business initiatives are not only raising the bar for quality services but also ensuring a positive developmental change. In light of the above-mentioned criterion, it becomes imperative to gain insight into the global economic phenomenon and park our investment in growth-driven economies and sectors like real estate, which is poised to contribute to the growth trajectory of the Indian economy.

Uttar Pradesh outpaces Maharashtra, ranked No. 1 in attracting funds from banks and financial institutions.

Those days are numbered when U.P. was considered one of the slow-paced and tagged BIMARU states. Despite being a prominent political and cultural state, it is evident that growth is sluggish due to poor infrastructure and administration. However, those are gone things.

Yogi Aditynath ji for turning around the picture of the state. The report illustrates a great leap of 20% in GSDP in 2021–22.
