I would like to ask the developer friends here when they say there is an ambiguity as far as ECB is concerned. Which are the funding routes that you find without ambiguity—whether it is private equity, QIP, IPO or any other route to raise money?
Gaurav Gupta: I would say there are multiple challenges for the sector.
Atul Modak: The perception that you are talking about is true. On that we had a meeting with the members of MCHI-CREDAI and the focus was this poor perception that builder is chor (thief), not interested to give possession and he will take away your money. But that is not the case as in majority of the cases developers’ intention is good. They want to deliver project on time, but because of delays in approvals, added to the funding gap and he has nowhere to go once he has launched the project.

Track2Realty Exclusive: For quite some time the developers in Mumbai were making pitch for the review of FSI in the city which they termed as archaic. Their grouse has not been lacking the merit also. Facts speak for themselves. In 1964, FSI was introduced and set at 4.5 in Mumbai.
Pranay Vakil: Good afternoon everyone. We are indeed sitting in one of the most interesting market of real estate when I feel the developer is confused, the buyer is confused and the government is confused.
Jhumur Ghosh: The most confused.
Pranay Vakil: You said it, I didn’t. The buyer is confused because every day he is reading in the newspapers that prices are going down, but when he goes out to buy a house he finds that prices have actually gone up. I think the lender is confused because he is lending money and the developer is making all kinds of commitment and things are not working out the way it was promised and he is unable to understand why it is not happening.
Track2Realty-Agencies: The Union Cabinet today deferred considering a draft law to set up a regulator for the real estate sector with provisions for jail term for the developer for putting out misleading advertisements about projects.
Track2Realty Exclusive: Direct investment in case of leveraged returns has to take into account carrying cost (interest cost) and in case of non leveraged returns should consider opportunity cost.
Track2Realty-Agencies: The proposed bill to regulate the real estate sector seeks to establish a transparent system of delivery and would not hamper the growth of the sector, a top government official has said.
