The  Real  Estate sector in India has a growing importance  with  the liberalisation   of  the  economy  The consequent  increase  in   business opportunities and migration of the labour force to towns and cities has, in turn,  increased the demand for commercial and housing space.  Developments in  the Real Estate ector are being influenced by the developments in  the retail,  hospitality  and entertainment industries (e.g. hotels,  resorts, cinema halls), community services (e.g., hospitals, schools) and IT /  ITES (e.g., BPO centers), etc. and vice versa as well as owing to the fact   that quality  Real  Estate development prompts raising of standards  of  retail, hospitality, etc

  Buoyant demand from the corporate world and the interest of private  equity and venture capital firms to the Real Estate sector have led to firming  of values  across  Tier I and Tier II cities. Another major  booster  for  the growth of the Real Estate sector is the growing demand for office space  in the  booming IT and ITES sectors, especially the BPO sector. These  sectors have  benefited  from the growing international trend  towards  off-shoring activities  which  has  resulted in higher demand for  skilled,  low  cost, english  speaking workers. India's competitiveness in this sector has  been aided  by substantial investment in telecommunications, infrastructure  and the  phased liberalisation of the communication sector.  Consequently,  the growth  in the sector will translate into substantially higher  demand  for commercial  space,  adding  to  the  overall  investment  in  Real   Estate activities.  The  announcement  of  the Special  Economic  Zones  Rules  in February  2006 by the Government for setting up of Special  Economic  Zones (SEZs)  has led to several corporates planning the same which will   further boost demand in the Real Estate sector

  Real  Estate  is  the  second  largest  employment  driver,  next  only  to agriculture. This is because of the chain of backward and forward  linkages that the sector has with other sectors of the economy. About 250   ancillary industries  such as cement, steel, brick, timber, building  material,  etc. are  dependent on the Real Estate industry. A unit increase in  expenditure in this sector has a multiplier effect and the capacity to generate  income as high as five times. If the economy grows at the rate of 10%, the housing sector  has the capacity to grow at 14% and generate 3.2 million  new  jobs over the next 10 years. New  growth  concentrations  are being seen across Tier  II  and  Tier  III cities,  besides suburban and eripheral areas in established markets.  The construction  activity  in residential, commercial and retail  segments  of Real  Estate,  which  until recently was focused on  the  four  metres,  is spreading  to  Tier  II  and Tier III cities  as  well.  Also,  within  the established  markets,  Real  Estate activities  are  moving  into  suburban business  districts from central districts to take advantage of lower  Real Estate prices and higher availability of space, which provide built-to-suit larger centralised office space

CMP: Rs 70.50 Target Price: Rs 90 CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets maintains an 'outperform' on Jagran Prakashan, with a 12-month price target of Rs 90. "An economic slowdown notwithstanding, improving literacy and income levels in Hindi heartland imply that drivers for Jagran's growth are still in place. With a 35% ad rate hike in 2008, Jagran continues to narrow the gap with its more expensive English rivals," the foreign brokerage said in a client note, after a Q&A reply from the management. "Rising newsprint prices have made Jagran cautious on launching new editions in FY09 and its focus this year will be profitability. While management has budgeted for a minor increase in FY10 newsprint prices, it believes that prices are likely to peak in Q2FY08 and decline thereon," it added.
