EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe real estate sector in India has evolved from disorganization and inefficiency to greater organization and transparency, accomplished by various regulatory reforms. In the past, factors such as the absence of centralized title registry providing the guarantee, lack of uniformity in local laws affecting real estate and their application, the unavailability of bank financing, high interest rates and transfer taxes and the lack of transparency in the transaction values led to inefficiencies in the sector.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Real Estate Sector In India

Real Estate Sector in Lucknow:- Lucknow, the state capital of Uttar Pradesh is a city of historical and cultural significance. Amongst the few cities which can boast of rich architectural heritage, it is fast evolving as a modern real estate destination. Increase in economic activity, changing aspirations of the resident population and potential for real estate growth has led to massive changes within the city according to leading global property consultancy firm Knight Frank.

he erstwhile old city comprising locations like Aminabad and Chowk have given way to new centres of growth like Gomti Nagar, Mahanagar, Janakipuram and Indiranagar in the suburbs. Though Hazaratganj remains to be the CBD of the city, these emerging growth pockets have led to an increase in commercial activities in the suburbs. Development is now not only limited to the main city and the suburbs but is also active along the highways connecting Lucknow to other destinations. These include Sitapur Road, Faizabad Road, Sultanpur Road, Raebareilli Road, Kanpur Road and Hardoi Road. Major township projects by developers like Ansal, Sahara, Omaxe, Rohtas, Eldeco etc. have been proposed on these roads.

Current ScenarioCommercial activity in Lucknow, including retail and office sector, is mainly concentrated in and around Hazratganj. Some other destinations like Kapurthala Commercial Complex in Mahanagar have also emerged as alternate business centres. Offices in Hazratganj comprise those of banks, financial institutions, telecom service providers, government agencies as well as those of some well known developers likes Parsvnath, Halwasia, Rohtas, Eldeco, etc. Most of the developments in these locations are on the commercial complex format and have been developed by local developers.

IT/ITES sector is yet to pick up in Lucknow and as such there is a lack of specific IT/ITES catering developments. Also, anticipating the future demand, the STPI at Gomti Nagar is being revived. TCS and Wipro are two IT companies going ahead with their plans in the city. Some quality office developments like Shalimar Corporate Park and Pinnacle Towers are coming up in Gomti Nagar.

Till some time back, retail activity in Lucknow was largely unorganised in nature and concentrated in locations like Hazratganj, Aminabad, Kaiser Bagh and to some extent in Mahanagar. Over the last few years, with the East End Mall (250,000 sq.ft.) in Gomti Nagar and Sahara Ganj (400,000 sq.ft.) on Shah Najaf Road becoming operational, organised retail has picked up in the city. However, MG Road in Hazratganj is still the most significant retail highstreet of the city and has all major apparel, accessories and food and beverage brands. Fun Republic Mall in Gomti

Nagar is the latest addition to the city mall list and at least 8 more malls are in various stages of planning and development around the city.

The residential sector in Lucknow has witnessed a sea change in the recent times. Main city locations like Chowk, Alambagh, Aminabad, Kaiserbagh are very congested and do not offer any new space for further development. Some development in the form of rebuilding the old, demolished houses has however been done in these locations. Hazratganj, Civil Lines and the Mall Avenue are the high-end residential locations of Lucknow and have mainly bungalow style developments. A few premium residential apartments have also come up on Mall Avenue.

Indiranagar and Gomti Nagar are the suburban locations which are witnessing hectic residential development. Both these locations have individual bungalows and as well as new apartment style developments. Omaxe, Eldeco, Parsvnath and UP Township in collaboration with the Uppal Group and the Chadha Group are developing apartment projects in Gomti Nagar.

Naya Haiderabad, Mahanagar and Janakipuram are chiefly higher and middle-income residential locations. Sahara has developed two projects - Sahara State Homes and Sahara Grace in Janakipuram. Arif Industries Metro City apartment project is being developed in Paper Mill Colony near New Haiderabad.

On the outskirts of Lucknow, Sahara is coming up with a 175-acre township called the Sahara City Homes on Hardoi Road. Not very far from there, Eldeco is developing a 200-acre Eldeco Town on Sitapur Road. Towards south of Lucknow, on Raebareilli Road, Rohtas is building 2/3 bedroom apartments Rohtas Icon near Vrindavan Yojna. Also, Eldeco has its plotted row house and bungalow scheme near South City.

Just off Raebareilli Road is the 250-acre Omaxe City Township project. This development will have apartments and villas together with office and retail blocks. The township is expected to be operational by early 2008. Besides these, townships by Ansals and Sahara on Sultanpur Road and by Lucknow Development Authority on Kanpur Road have also been announced.

Rental and Capital ValuesThe unprecedented rise in demand for residential space has led to a similar rise in capital values. Values in suburban locations like Janakipuram, Gomti Nagar, Indiranagar, Aliganj and Mahanagar have increased by 25-50% over the last 2 years says Knight Frank. Quoted rates for residential developments by Omaxe, Eldeco and Parsvnath in Gomti Nagar are between Rs.1,800-2,200/sq.ft. Residential developments in Jankipuram and Aliganj command a rate of Rs.1,200-1,800/sq.ft. The new residential developments coming up on the outskirts of the city on Hardoi Road and Sitapur Road range between Rs.1,000-1,200/sq.ft. Certain developments on Raebareilli Road are quoting a rate of Rs.750-1,000/sq.ft.

Office space rentals in the CBD of Lucknow of Hazratganj are in the range of Rs.45-55/sq.ft. per month while those in Gol Market and Mahanagar are at approximately Rs.30-45/sq.ft. per month. The rentals for commercial space around Charbagh and in Alambagh are about Rs.40-50/sq.ft. per month.

The ongoing rentals on the highstreet of MG Road in Hazratganj are in the range of Rs.100-180/sq.ft. per month whereas the capital values range between Rs.15,000-20,000/sq.ft. Other important retail markets of the city like those of Alambagh, Aminabad and Kaiserbagh command a retail rental of Rs.70-100/sq.ft. per month, depending upon location and frontage. The capital values in the same locations range between Rs.6,000-8,000/sq.ft. The rentals in the two operational malls of the city, the East End Mall at Gomti Nagar and Sahara Ganj on Shah Najaf Road, are similar and quoted to be in the range of Rs.110-160/sq.ft. per month.

OutlookLucknow real estate market has gained momentum over the last 2-3 years. According to Knight Frank, the city offers substantial potential for future growth and this is being supplemented by proactive policies of the state government. Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has taken active initiative in all round development of Lucknow. Land banks are being auctioned in specified locations to bring about a planned development of the city. Proper planning of the city's infrastructure and of amenities and utilities is being done to support future growth and development in the city.

The entry of a number of national level developers and retail brands in the city points towards the positive outlook for the city. With the backing of quality manpower availability, supportive policies and increasing purchasing power, Lucknow will emerge as a key IT/ITES as well as retail destination of North India.

Supply Chain Management

The procurement process followed at SCM has been framed in a way to obtain best value from its procurement expenditure in a cost efficient way within a shortest possible lead time.SCM IS committed to meet the needs of the indentor, both now and in the future, by providing consistently high quality material as approved by the user.

Procurement is defined as the whole process of acquisition of goods and services from third parties. This process includes the entire procurement cycle from the initial concept of assessing business need through to the end of a contract or the end of a useful life of the asset.

Deliver consistently high quality services that meet users need, with a range of partners with other sectors.

Provide savings and better value for money, thereby improving the cost effectiveness in procurement through buying expertise to make savings.

Support the execution department by providing required material with a time line. Be delivered through different structures in new forms.

1. Capital Items2. Construction Material3. Consumable Items

Inventory Management

After raw materials are procured for the site project next step is to manage this huge stock of inventories which is quite a task. For a project like Sahara City Homes, Lucknow it is very important to have proper set of guidelines and instructions to handle it. In Sahara this goes as a step by step process as:-

First Step

Receipt of indent

Indent is checked carefully before signing for:-

Complete specification Dimension/Size Unit of measurement Quantity etc. BOM (Bill Of Materials) in construction material

Second Step

Material receipt at store

Checklist for documents upon approval for materials

Challan/Invoice bill Name of the consignee Name of the consignor

Third Step

Process for issue of material.

Material issued can be grouped under five heads:-

Issues against indent. Issues to other sites i.e. Stock Transfer Issue for repair/redesign/value addition i.e. for Job Work Issue due to rejection Other Issues Materials will be issued from store only against SIV(Store issue

voucher)

Store is recommended to issue material mainly by the FIFO method. According to this method material received first are issued first and so it ensures quality as material is being issued as per date of receipt at stores.

However, stores can use discretion if any material has to be issued by LIFO or weighted average method if the material is being damaged there is lack of space, high value of item, etc. But any deviation/decision must be conveyed to head SCM at site or HO through proper channel.
