MACRO ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

India’s economic growth decreased to •4.7% in 4Q 2013 from 4.8% in 3Q 2013. On a positive note, the Business Confidence Index (BCI) rose to 54.9 in 4Q 2013 from 45.7 in the previous quarter showing an increase in business confidence levels.

The volatility in the rupee exchange rate •has reduced significantly in the surveyed quarter ensuring continued foreign institutional investor interest in Indian financial securities.

Net export figures reflecting both export •growth and import compression suggest that export-led sectors such as information technology and pharmaceuticals are performing better in 2014.

About 8 million sq ft. of office space was •leased across the eight major cities in India showing a 7% increase on QoQ basis. All markets, with the exception of Mumbai, Chennai and Pune, have witnessed increase in office absorption. Bangalore and NCR topped the chart contributing 75% in the total absorption.

COLLIERS VIEW : Occupiers are looking beyond the CBD and SBD markets for more strategic opportunities. In 2014, we should see a continuation of this trend, as players in search of more cost-effective solutions will move towards the PBD. With positive signals emanating from the global economy, which finds resonance in our improved export performance, we anticipate that after the elections, the office market will start seeing a revival in terms of absorption, supply and new project launches.

During 1Q 2014, the Mumbai office •markets witnessed a further decline in office space absorption indicating cautious occupier sentiment. This lack of demand can be attributed to a low level of IT/ITeS sector participation in the overall absorption, which is currently the primary demand generating sector across the cities.

This quarter only about 0.42 million sq •ft of Grade A office space was leased with a few mid-sized deals concluded in Central and Western Suburbs, and Navi Mumbai.

Construction activities remained slow. •No projects / phases of projects were completed this quarter. Developers also refrained from launching new projects due to low demand.

More than 7.5 million sq ft of Grade A •commercial office space was available for fit-out during the surveyed quarter of which, about 80% was concentrated in micro-markets like Andheri East, Lower Parel, BKC and Thane / LBS Road. Vacancy remained almost stable due to the limited addition of new supply. Rents and capital values for Grade A office space remained stable in all of the micro-markets.

COLLIERS VIEW:• Sectors like BFSI and FMCG, have become cautious in office uptake. This coupled with reduced IT/ITeS absorption is likely to result in lower demand in 2014. Rents and capital values are thus expected to remain stable; however, micro-markets such as Andheri, BKC (Bandra-Kurla-Complex) and Lower Parel could see an upward movement in the range of 1 - 2% QoQ due to continued interest from the occupiers.

Delhi witnessed improved demand as •office absorption nearly doubled this quarter amounting to approximately 0.3 million sq ft. Approximately 60% of this total absorption is contributed by large office space occupiers such as Moser Bear, Snapdeal and VFS Global. Remaining 40% of the leases were small office spaces (5,000 - 10,000 sq ft) occupied by the corporate offices of BFSI, airlines, real estate and media companies.

In the surveyed quarter, the city added •0.8 million sq ft of new, Grade A office supply. Projects contributing this supply were Hyatt Commercial Block by Asian Hotels in Bhikaji Cama Place; Ambience Tower by Ambience Developer in Rohini; and Prime Tower by DLF in Okhla Phase I.

The total Grade A supply available for fit-•out this quarter was about 2.5 million sq ft, mainly concentrated in Jasola, Saket and Connaught Place.

Average rent and capital values remained •unaltered during 1Q 2014, however some new buildings demanding above-market prices due to their premium location and amenities offered.

COLLIERS VIEW:• Occupiers will remain cost-conscious and prefer small Grade A properties for their corporate offices in the CBD area. The upcoming new supply in Aero City near the airport is expected to have an impact on the market dynamics with nearly 0.9 million sq ft forecasted to get operational in 2014. The location is expected to attract a significant number of occupiers due to its advantageous location and availability of Grade A buildings with state-of-the-art amenities.

In 1Q 2014, occupiers leased more than •1.6 million sq ft of Grade A office space in Gurgaon, a modest increase of 5% from last quarter. This marginal increase in the office space absorption figure is an indication of the reviving occupier confidence level.

IT/ITeS and BFSI were the most active •occupiers leasing large office spaces.

The total available stock for lease or sale •was approximately 16 million sq ft. New supply entering the market accounted for approximately 1.5 million sq ft. Projects contributing to this new supply include Palm Square and Eros Tower, located at Golf Course Extension Road; and Palm Spring Plaza and One Horizon Centre at Golf Course Road.

Projects launched this quarter include •Gateway by Unitech Ltd and Biosphere by Emmar MGF, both located on MG Road; and KST Tower by KST Group on the Dwarka Expressway. All of these projects will add approximately 1 million sq ft to the city’s Grade A inventory by 2018.

Rents and capital values remained flat •compared to last quarter. However, MG Road and the institutional sectors witnessed marginal decreases in the range of 1 to 3% QoQ. Limited availability of large floor plate Grade A office space resulted in low demand in these micro-markets

COLLIERS VIEW:• In 2014, it is likely that lease volumes will increase. Stock in cost-effective locations, like Golf Course Extension Road and Sohna Road, will be preferred, primarily because of occupiers interest in high-quality assets at cheaper rents.

6 Research & Forecast Report | April 2014 | Office | Colliers International

The total volume of office absorption •in 1Q 2014 in NOIDA was recorded at 0.21 million sq. ft. dominated mostly by consulting, Engineering and BFSI segments in sector 62 and Sector 127. Share of sector 62 in the total absorption pie has increased as corporate are able to get better deals with more options at competitive rentals.

The delivery of World Trade Tower in •Sector 16 and two individual buildings in Sectors 6 and 125 contributed approximately 0.9 million sq ft of new space to the market.

Despite low absorption levels, •developers continued to launch new, commercial Grade A towers in their mixed-use projects in sectors along the NOIDA Expressway. New launches this quarter include Downtown by Sikka Developer, and Cosmic Corporate Park III by Cosmic Developers. These projects will contribute another 1.5 million sq ft of Grade A non-IT office space to the city’s inventory by 2019.

Rents in almost all micro markets •remained stable due to low transaction volumes. Sectors along the NOIDA Expressway command premiums in terms of rents due to the location and connectivity advantages.

COLLIERS VIEW:• NOIDA is expected to witness new office space completions of approximately 4.5 mn sq. ft. by the end of 2014. Most of this upcoming supply is non-IT/ITeS office space. The addition of Grade A non-IT/ITeS office space is expected to attract corporate occupiers to this market.

In Chenani, leasing transaction volumes •continued to remain below average. Total absorption was 0.56 mn sq. ft. during the quarter. The majority of leases signed were for smaller, sub-25,000 sq ft office spaces. Micro-markets like Old Mahabali Puram Road and Guindy remained the standout performers this quarter. Having quality office space on offer combined with affordability has enabled these micro-markets to be preferred destinations for occupiers.

A few projects / phases of projects •were completed this quarter, including Ramaniyam ISHA by RamaniyamGroup at Thoraipakkam; KPR Towers at Nungambakkam; and VikramVikra at Vadapalani. All of these projects together add 0.09 million sq ft of Grade A office space to the city’s total inventory.

New project launches continued to •remain limited. A phase of about 0.25 million sq ft in DLF IT SEZ-Block 2, located at Manapakkam, was launched by DLF Ltd this quarter and is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

The lack of major tenant moves and •expansions by large occupiers has seen rents continue to remain steady in almost all micro-markets.

COLLIERS VIEW:• The outlook for the leasing market across Chennai over the next 9 months is more positive than the previous two quarters. Improving sentiment and prospects for the global economy as well as rising business and consumer confidence should all combine to boost the sentiment of IT/ ITeS tenants who make up the bulk of tenants in Chennai.

* Indicative Grade a rents in INr per sq ft per month.

Strong demand for Grade A office space •witnessed during 1Q 2014 resulted in a 35% QoQ increase in absorption in the Bengaluru market. IT/ITeS remained the primary demand driver contributing approximately 80% in the total absorption of 3.8 million sq ft. This includes approximately 1.7 million sq ft pre-commitment deals from companies like IBM, Ericson and Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages for expansion purposes.

During the quarter, many large scaled •projects / phases of projects were completed and added over 2.9 million sq ft of Grade A office space to the city’s total inventory.

Enthused by this demand, a number of •developers launched additional towers in their existing projects, including Divyasree Technopolis-Block D; Mantri Cornerstone-Block B; Pritech-Block 14 and RMZ ECO WORLD – Towers 4A, 4B and all of these projects together will add over 4.8 million sq ft office space to city’s inventory by the end of 2015.

With demand and supply complementing •each other, vacancy levels remain unaltered and about 11 million sq ft of Grade A stock was available for fit-out during the quarter.

The capital and rental values also •remained steady in almost all micro-markets in the city.

COLLIERS VIEW:• The strong software export figures indicate increase in IT/ITeS uptake in the coming quarters in the city. We anticipate modest increases in rents in micro-markets like Outer Ring Road and CBD due to occupier preference to other micro-markets like Whitefield and Electronic City.

The city witnessed improved demand •this quarter and recorded Grade A absorption of about 0.18 million sq ft. More than 90% of these deals were concluded in the Salt Lake-Sector V and New Town micro-markets. This quarter, various local occupiers have relocated from their old structures to new and better facilitated structures.

Construction activities remained slow •during the quarter and only a few properties were completed including Pecon Tower by Pecon Group and Rishi Techpark by Mittal Group, both of which are at New Town. Together, these projects contributed about 0.1 million sq ft of Grade A commercial office supply.

Projects launched this quarter include •Weston by Siddha Group at Bentinck Street; Arya Hub by Arya Realty at Taratala; and Pressman House by Pressman at New Town. The projects are expected to be completed by 2017 and will contribute about 0.47 million sq ft of Grade A commercial office space in the city.

Rental values declined in the range of 1 •to 4% QoQ in most of the micro-markets, except SBD where rents remained stable. During the same quarter, capital values remained stable, except for Sector V where capital values decline by 3% QoQ.

COLLIERS VIEW:• Upcoming infrastructure developments like metro corridors will improve the overall connectivity of the city. Micro-markets like Salt Lake-Sector V and New Town will continue to see occupier interest. Rents and capital values are expected to remain under pressure due to prevailing high vacancy in suburban micro-markets.

* Indicative Grade a rents in INr per sq ft per month.

Pune has witnessed more than 0.85 •million sq ft of absorption in 1Q 2014, which is relatively less than the last quarter’s net absorption of 1.55 million sq ft. However, more than 65% of the transactions were for expansion indicating rebounding business confidence levels.

About 1 million sq ft of new Grade A •supply was added to the city’s total inventory. Of this 0.8 million sq ft was contributed by Business Bay Tower I by Panchshil Realty, located at Yerwada.

Total Grade A total supply available •for fit-out was about 5.7 million sq ft. mainly concentrated in the Hinjewadi and Kharadi micro-markets. This is an increase of about 1.19 million sq ft of Grade A office space over the previous quarter indicating increasing vacancy in peripheral areas.

In most of the micro-markets rents and •capital values remained unchanged, however a few micro-markets like Airport Road, Hinjewadi, Hadapsar and Fursungi witnessed an increase in the range of 3 - 4% on a quarterly basis. This is primarily due to the availability of grade A office space with a low rental base as compared to the other parts of the city.

COLLIERS VIEW:• IT/ITeS will continue to be the major occupier of Grade A office space in the city. Despite the demand / supply equilibrium in the city, rents in micro-markets located towards the north-west and south-east will see a rise in the range of 3 - 5% on a yearly basis. This is because of the large floor-plate of the Grade A inventory with ready social infrastructure that will continue to lure occupiers in the near future.
