• Sales crossed ₹ 8000 cr. in March 2016, beating DLF Ltd and Prestige Estates Projects Ltd.
• The company’s four largest projects are Palava City in Dombivali, the Park in Worli (including Trump Tower), New Cuffe Parade in Wadala and World Towers in Upper Worli.
• Lodha group has projects in all 4 segments of Mumbai’s real estate and they have a good mix of high end as well as high momentum projects.
Fitch maintains “B” rating with negative outlook
Though the sales booking bounced back in February and
March this year with bookings of ₹ 6,920 cr. in FY17 from
₹ 6,430 cr. in FY16, the negative outlook reflect the near-
term risks to the company's credit profile, in particular
refinancing risk associated with sizeable maturities, including
financing for its London project, over the next 12 months.
Moody’s downgrades Lodha Developers to B2Moody anticipates that any reductions in home loans from the union budget on Feb 1st will not lead to any near-term material improvement at the high-end of the real estate market and LDLP is mostly represented across the luxury and mid-tier segments. Upgrading of rating will require credit metric like revenue/debt to be above 55% and homebuilding EBIT/Interest exceeds 2.0x on a sustained basis.
The Way AheadTaking advantage of GST
• As GST gets implemented, warehousing will be
determined by the efficiency of the operations as
compared to the location.
• According to Abhishek Lodha, the group is building a
new portfolio, under which a 150-acre warehousing and
logistics park is being developed near Mumbai.
• CBRE claims that demand of warehouses remained
strong in 2016.
Opting for HDFC Property $500 mn. Fund
• HDFC is set to launch a $500 million offshorefund that it has been planning since early2016, a company executive said.
• The fund will invest up to 40% in officespaces and the rest in residential projectswith a focus on affordable housing.
• Lodha group is planning to build 9 million sq.ft of office space and should consider thisfund.
Go for IPO• Lodha group can restructure it’s capital by
going for IPO and reduce leverage.• Lodha Group can look for investments from
marquee American investor KKR & Co.• KKR & Co. wishes to spend around $150
million in the IPO.• The stock market listing will also aid the
company’s plan of starting a real estateinvestment trust (REIT) as it seeks toexpand its commercial property portfolio.
Learnings from UK business
• Lodha Developers is expecting sales
revenue of 1.5 billion pounds (over
Rs 12,000 crore) in the next three
years from two ongoing housing
projects in the central parts of this
city.
• The company should take forward
its learnings about quality and
design from the London market to
India business.
DLF
• DLF has an asset heavy model as its portfolio is heavy on high end commercial spaces that are leased out.
• The company has Rs 14,000 crore of inventory in its ongoing projects which includes Rs 3,000 crore of inventory in ready projects (mostly commercial projects) .
• The company remains focused on its strategy of executing its ongoing projects to create finished un-launched inventory.
• On weak collections and continued spend towards construction and overheads (including interest), the company faced cash flow deficit in Q4 (on the expected lines), increasing the debt by Rs 700 crore to Rs 25,100 crore (includes net debt of Rs 7,000 crore in DCCDL).
• Strategies that are being executed currently are
• Create a high quality long term portfolio
• Reduce debt and improve the quality of debt
• Focus on Core market
• The company has improved its profitability by focussing on completing existing projects
• It has obtained the approvals for developing 2.5 mn sqft for Chennai IT SEZ
• But the strategy to not start new projects has impacted its estimated revenues for the next 2 fiscal years
• They also do not have presence in tier 2 and tier 3 cities and may miss out on the high growth that is expected

Asset Light is Right• Asset-heavy and vertically integrated models offer superior control, but they tie up significant capital and
prove less flexible in a fast-changing environment.
• Asset light model offers the following advantages:• Better ROA : Assets are removed from the balance sheet
• Lower profit volatility : Costs are more variable in nature. Net income not dependent on utilization
• Greater flexibility : Low dependence on legacy assets improves flexibility Respond faster to changes in demand
• Higher scale driven cost saving : Benefits of assets ownership without intensive capital investment
Godrej Properties• Created in 1990, GPL pioneered the concept of Asset Light development model in the real estate sector
• JV model, Development manager fee model & Redevelopment model Share of revenue / profits from sale
• Outsourcing of architecture and construction to good vendors ensures a lean structure / operations

Private Equity Investments in Real Estate
Three broad investment phases within Indian real
estate
Opportunistic investments
Structured Equity Investors
Long-Term Partnership
PE investment peaked in 2007–08 and then fell in 2009–10. Since then, a gradual and a steady growth in PE activity has been visible
1. Opportunistic investments
Sequence of events
• Through PN 3, DIPP allowed FDI into real estate in 2003
• Huge scope and underlying demand, India attracted PE both India and foreign
• Investment scene started upward trajectory with issue of PN 2, sped till GFC
Fund characteristics
• Majority of the funds denominated in US dollars and Singapore dollars indicating keen interest of foreign investors
• Few funds focused on residential and retail, 66% had diverse options
Wrap-up
• This phase saw investment activity peak in India, various eye catching deals
• Many investors gained multiple returns, a few suffered losses due to GFC
• Profit losses caused by- entry price point, developer credibility and intensity of due deligence
2. Structured Equity Investors
Sequence of events
• Scenario turned upside down owing to GFC , was a dry spell for investments
• Only USD 3.9 billion raised in over 5 years
Fund characteristics
• Limited funds but showed more focus
• More participation from Indian investors
• Structure equity became the preferred route 2009 ownwards
Wrap-up
• This phase saw bottom of investment activity and its recovery to some extent
• Attractive entry point for investors helped achieve good investment returns
• The structured equity route, a better focus on asset classes and geographical locations, and a more intensive due diligence were a few other key factors behind the good returns
3. Long term partnershipsSequence of events
•Phase started with positivity surrounding the elections and in anticipation of a government led by Narendra Modi.
•Fundraising activity started to pick at a good pace even before the election results and continued to get better following its outcome
•Focus on longterm partnerships, largely platform-level deals, with developers that have an established track record
Fund characteristics
•Creation of public markets for commercial assets in the form of REITs
•Appetite for industrial and warehouses is increasing; passing of GST Bill also helped seed up investment.
•Shortages in quality retail space and increasing rental values have attracted PE players towards the retail segment in the last two years
Wrap-up
•Despite demonetisation and an overall poor scenario in the real estate industry, PE inflows saw 62% increase
•With change in regulatory framework, country looking way more attractive to investors – both foreign and domestic – than ever before
•Developers under pressure due to RERA and demonetisation, developers would be open to providing good entry points to the long-term equity investors
Why PE firms are investing in India?
• Relaxed FDI norms
• Govt regulations on banks to reduce credit given to real estate sector
• Government’s push for affordable housing
• Shortages in quality retail space and increasing renta
How PE have helped real estate in India?
• PE makes up 75% of funds propping up in property market
• Refinancing debt
PE investment deals in real estate
• Warburg Pincus invested US $ 268.4 million in Piramal Realty for a minority stake in the company
• Blackstone Advisors India invested US $70 million in a commercial project of Salarpuria SarrvaRealty LLP.
• Kotak Realty Fund, has raised US$ 250 million for projects across India's top six property markets
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016The act was passed by parliament last year and the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation had given time till May 1, 2017, to formulate and notify rules for the functioning of the regulator.
01 Establishment of the regulatory authority: Each state and Union territory will have its own regulator and set of rules to govern the functioning of the regulator
Compulsory registration:• It is mandatory for all projects pertaining
to commercial and residential real estate to mandatorily register with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority India[RERA].
• Builders are required to submit the original approved plans for their ongoing projects and the alterations that they made later. The details of all registered projects will be put up on a website for public access.
• Developers can’t invite, advertise, sell, offer, market or book any plot, apartment, house, building, investment in projects, without first registering it with the regulatory authority.
02
03 Reserve account:The promoter of a real estate development firm has to maintain a separate escrow account for each of their projects. A minimum 70% of the money from investors and buyers will have to be deposited.
Continual disclosures by promoters:Home buyers will be able to monitor the progress of the project on the RERA website since promoters will be required to make periodic submissions to the regulator regarding the progress of the project.
04
05 Standardisation of sale agreement:The Act prescribes a standard model sale agreement to be entered into between promoters and homebuyers.Penalty:To ensure that violation of the Act is not taken lightly, stiff monetary penalty (up to 10% of the project cost) and imprisonment has been prescribed against violators.
06
1. Commercial and residential projects including plotted development.
2. Projects measuring more than 500 sq mts or 8 units.
3. Projects without Completion Certificate, before commencement of the Act.
4. The project only for the purpose of renovation / repair / re-development which does not involve re-allotment and marketing, advertising, selling or new allotment of any apartments, plot or building in the real estate project, will not come under RERA.
PROJECTS UNDER RERA ADVANTAGES OF RERA IMPACT ON PRICE
1. Governance and transparency
2. Project efficiency and robust project delivery
3. Standardization and quality
4. Enhance confidence of investors
5. Attract higher investments and PE funding
6. Regulated Environment
7. Consolidation of sector
8. Safety of money and transparency on utilization
9. Balanced agreements and treatment.
1. Due to stipulated compliances and regulations, the project launches may occur with lesser frequency than before.
2. The sale of projects on a carpet area basis is likely to result in the per square feet price of the project going up by about 40% to 50% of the price based on the super built area.
3. In accordance with RERA guidelines, a price readjustment may be in order.
4. Transfer of risk will lead to price rise -Initially the risk on account of delays, quality, changes, etc. was borne by the buyer. Customers were forced to bear the cost of the default. Now, since the risk will be borne by developers, there might be consequential premium that flat purchasers might have to pay.
IMPACT ON INSURANCE COST FOR CONSTRUCTION AND LAND TITLE
1. Shift from debt financing to equity financing as prelaunchconcept may end.
2. Funds for land and approval cost to be made through equity,leading to rise in cost od capital.
3. Increase in launch time as finer details such as completedrawing, utilities layout, etc. will need to be finalized beforelaunching the project.
IMPACT ON REAL ESTATE AGENTS
1. Broker segment- unorganized and unregulated. Approx a USD 4billion industry, with an estimated 5,00,000 to 9,00,000 brokers.
2. Real estate agents need to register themselves, to be able tofacilitate a transaction.
3. Agents responsible for disclosing all the appropriateinformation to the customer and for helping them chose aRERA-compliant developer.
4. Less profit earned due to increased cost of compliance.
5. RERA to filter out the inexperienced, unprofessional, fly-by-night operators, as brokers not following the guidelines will facehefty penalty or jail or both.
IMPACT ON SMALL DEVELOPERS
1. Strong financial and execution capability is required to launch a project. With frequent delay in obtaining approvals, debt fundingnot an ideal route for developers.
2. Smaller developers would find it difficult to meet their cash flow requirements due to prohibition on pre-sales until a project isregistered.
3. Implementation of RERA may entail initial hiccups across the states and hence the more established and bigger developers would beat an advantageous position compared to the small and marginal developers when it comes to adhering to regulations.
4. Small developers may merge or tie-up with large developers and then co-develop properties. Expected to witness large scaleconsolidation.
