8. Equity Outlook
The beginning of CY12 has brought positive macroeconomic news as reflected by the buoyancy in PMI numbers for
manufacturing and services as well as industrial production data and cool off in inflation number. The extremely negative
sentiment about India seen in last quarter seems to be reversing with FIIs coming back to the market. FII’s put in Rs.10,000
crs in equity markets in the month of January resulting in a market up move of 12%. The rally was lead by beaten down
sectors like banking, metals and capital goods.

European debt markets have calmed due to massive liquidity injection done by European central bank. Bond yields of PIIGS
countries have been coming down. If Greece is able to arrive at a deal with private bond holders about the haircut in Greek
bond holdings, we would expect the situation in Europe to stabilize.

9. Equity Outlook
RBI has started the reversal of the tight monetary policy with a 50 bps cut in cash reserve ratio (CRR). The tone of the policy
statement by the Governor continues to be dovish while he expressed concerns about inflation remaining sticky. The CRR
cut would address structural pressure on liquidity and would add Rs.32,000 crs to the banking system. RBI governor
expressed his inability to cut repo rates just yet due to a very expansionary fiscal policy which has resulted in inflationary
pressures staying elevated. RBI has maintained an end March inflation target of 7%. We believe that if January and February
inflation number come around 7%, RBI might start repo rate cuts in the March policy. We expect a cumulative repo rate cut
of 100-150bps for this calendar year.

Q3FY12 earnings have been more or less on expected lines. Private sector banks have again come up with impressive
growth considering the extremely tough macro environment. FMCG companies have also surprised on the positive with
good sales volume numbers. The biggest beneficiaries of the reversal in policy would be interest rate sensitive sectors like
banks, autos and capital goods. We are becoming more constructive on these sectors now. Several PSU banks which were
badly beaten down look extremely attractive from a valuation perspective. Also, a large number of midcap ideas appear
extremely attractive on valuation basis. From here on, a portfolio of fundamentally sound midcap companies would deliver
a superior return as compared to the broader markets.

from consumption or investments, credit growth is inevitable. Being a well regulated sector, BFSI

16. Real Estate Outlook - I
Asset Classes Outlook
In the residential space, low sales volumes have led to a sharp decline in the absorption rate from 21.4% in Q1
2011 to 11.5% in Q3 2011. However, strong pre-launch sales have kept the developers far from any correction.
Though sales have gone down to almost 35% as compared to last year, no correction has been witnessed in the
prices. The over-supplied locations remain stagnant and are expected to remain so for the next two quarters. In
cities like Pune, NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore entry points in the range of Rs. 3000 – Rs. 4600 per
Residential
Sqft are still valued by first time home -buyers. Infrastructure development and the new airports in these cities
have supported the residential development. On an average, prices in this segment still remain affordable.
Mumbai stands tall with prices at the peak in an over-supplied market also. Corrections are being reported by
media, however not being witnessed on ground level. The retail investors (second home buyers) and HNI
investors are postponing their decision due to expectations of price correction.
Average q-o-q rental growth in 3Q11 was recorded at 2.5%. Mumbai SBD BKC was among the most expensive
markets and Bangalore and Chennai among the least expensive in Asia Pacific, on the basis of Net Effective
Rents. Among the fastest growing office market in the world, India is constructing 100 million Sqft every 7-10
quarters. Office stock is expected to become 500 million Sqft by 2015. The Net Absorption is expected to grow
from 30.5 million Sqft in 2010 to 39.1 million Sqft in 2013. Absorption rate has been recorded at 13.3% in
3Q11. 8.5 million Sqft of office space was absorbed in 3Q11 compared to 10.5 million sq ft in 2Q11.
Commercial/IT Still in the shadows of over-supply and cautious expansion approach by corporates, this segment has gone
through a correction. Rates per Sqft have seen almost 30% down-trend and is expected to be stagnant for the
coming 2-3 quarters. After this correction we believe the segment is bottoming out and is the best time to buy
for companies looking at long term holding of real estate office space. With signs of recovery in the global
economy, the Indian office markets are expected to be nearing the end of the downturn. Despite improving
demand conditions, vacancies are rising in the short term due to massive infusion of office space. Markets of
Bangalore, Mumbai and NCR-Delhi are leading the property cycle as rentals have started to increase in these
markets.

17. Real Estate Outlook - II
Asset Classes Outlook
The FDI allowance has given lot of impetus to this sector. Since 2009 retail has seen a major transformation in
all its business aspects and has been built to suit Indian way of consumerism. Low cost, wide reach, more
variety, less innovation, close existence with competition, maximizing bottom line than top-line approach have
been making the retailers smarter. In the retail space, unorganized markets are still a preferred choice. Most
high-street locations are still expensive. Investors prefer Hi-street locations than malls since they would always
have capital appreciation due to dearth of available space.
Retail
Of 9.9 mn sq ft forecasted for absorption in 2011, 7.1 mn sq ft has already been absorbed till 3Q11 and another
1.3 mn sq ft is pre-committed. The northern regions of India rate high on propensity to consume followed by
the western, eastern and southern regions. Industrial towns are similar to each other in consumer preferences
and socio-economic & demographic profiles. Most of them remain equally under-served despite recent mall
developments in the last couple of years.
The trend of investment in land is still nascent since lack of transparency and unclear national land acquisition
policy/rules makes it tough for the organized players/investors to transact. However this seems to be a very
interesting time to buy land which is being traded more as a commodity now. It is getting absorbed fast. Land
Land sees immense opportunity since it can be used as a tangible asset and is the most credible pledge against
business. With the growing commitment of the Government in improving infrastructure (roads, bridges,
airports, rail metros), in the last 5 years many far flung areas now have very good connectivity to the CBD
locations.
