EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Real estate has proved to be a real engine of growth. The real estate sector in India is emerging as the next engine of economic growth going by the fact that it is the second largest employer next only to agriculture. It has significant linkages with several other sectors and over 250 associated industries. According to estimates, every rupee invested in this sector results in 78 paisa being added to the GDP. Accordingly, a unit increase in expenditure has a multiplier effect and the capacity to generate income is as high as five times. For instance, if the economy grows at the rate of 10%, the sector has the capacity to grow at 14% and generate 3.2 million new jobs over a decade. The sector size is close to $12bn and grows at 30% per annum. Presently, it is contributing 5% of the country's GDP and is expected to rise up to 6% within three to four years. The present project has been carried out with the objective of analyzing the Marketing Strategy of Narang Constructions & Financiers Pvt. Ltd on transit of people from Delhi to NCR (Sonepat).

Real estate in India assumes that 25 % of the work force joining the IT/ITES sector required independent housing there would be demand for 50 million sq ft of residential accommodation every year to meet the need of the workforce joining the IT/ITES sector alone. The demand has been aided by the ease in documentation and formality of property registration in India. It leads to boost property developer in India. The Indian realty sector would see unchanged interest from N R Is aided by the relaxation in FDI norms in real estate. The government has also helped by permitting banks to advance home loans to N R Is. The report acknowledges that the government had also played a pivotal role in the development of this sector .It had aided the sector by giving income tax benefits to consumer and benefits to developers. It initiated the rationalization of stamp duty and repealed the Urban Land Ceiling Act in 9 states. A number of state governments are moving towards computerization of land records. Real estate in India has a bright future .The report also pointed out certain issues, which need to be addressed by the government to ensure rapid growth. Some of the issues are absence of large listed companies in these sectors, which has affected fund flow. Foreign still cannot buy or sell undeveloped land, and reassessment of the legal aspect to stamp duty and rent control. At last, changing demographics, low interest rate regime, rising disposable income, and fiscal incentives have provided huge demand for housing. Further nuclearization of Indian families has accelerate the demand for mortgages and for fresh housing thus give rise to more real estate developer in India. Political reforms in relation to real estate: The government is quite rational when it comes to infrastructure and development in the country as it is required to achieve and maintain a growth rate for the economy. The real estate sector being directly related to it, is being given due importance. The government has made suitable amendments in the FDI regulations, taxation structures and various land acts in order to attract more foreign investment into the country.

Economic factors: The lower interest rates and ease of credit availability is fueling the demand for real estate in the country. This scenario coupled with the huge potential for consumer credit penetration in India is favoring the real estate sector. Demographic factors: Demographic factors like increasing literacy rates, higher disposable incomes, and increasing urbanization in the country are important factors propelling the demand for real estate in the country. The above factors are going to generate huge demand for residential space, which comprises 80% of the total real estate demand in the country.

forces. The credit of housing has gone up and interest rates have come down to 8-9% average.
With fiscal incentives and factoring inflation the real interest rates on housing loans is very less. This has brought in a sea change in the profile of the home purchaser across the spectrum. The average age of the home buying customer has been drastically reduced. It has been found that young working people in early and mid 20 also buying residential flats. The other major changes witnesses in the real estate industry currently are the reorganization of country status itself. The Government of India has made it mandatory that 3% of the incremental deposits of the banks would be deployed to the housing industry. Today real estate office market is booming IT AND ITE s segment. With lower operating costs being the driver office property have moved from Central Business Districts to suburbs to Class I cities and this market is continue to expand in Tier II and tier III cities. Real estate sector is still facing the main problem of high stamp duty in Indian states. These range in most Indian cities between 10% to 15% Some states even have double stamp incidence first on land and then on its developments even National Housing and Habitat Policy 1998 recommend stamp duty of 2-3%. Its needed to be reduced by taking the recommendation into consideration which is mentioned in the report otherwise this increasing rates of stamp duty and land cost will give rise to parallel economy which lead to huge loss of government revenue.

Future of commercial sector is boom. There is a great demand for office building in India. The demand for new office space alone has grown from estimated 3.9 million sq ft in 1988 to over 16 million sq ft in 2004-5.Cumulative demand for office space in India between 2005-2008 is estimated to be in excess of 85 million sq ft. This represent annual growth rate of 14.5% over the next 3 years or approx.20 million sq ft/year and approx 80% of demand is created by IT AND BPO sector. ITES & BPO segment register a growth of 54%. NASSCOM & Mckinsey study has predicted that I T Es sector in India will provide additional job for over 1.1 million people by 2008, which translate into space requirement of approx.100 million sq ft. Retail is considered the world largest private industry with total sales of over US $ 6.6 trillion with close to 12 million outlets. India has the largest retail density in the world .It is estimated that presently additional 46 million square feet for malls, multiplex is being added in India out of which 32 million sq ft is spread over across 7 major cities. In future 45 malls with over 9.5 million sq ft of retail real estate is expected to come up in Tier II cities like Jaipur, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Nagpur, Baroda, Kochi etc by end of 2007. It is expected that government will soon permit FDI in retail and this would further increase the demand for shopping malls, multiplex etc. However opening up of FDI in retail trading will not necessarily cause rent to rise as their demand will be offset by additional stock.

27819103911
Spiraling land prices (sign of overheating and excessive speculation): The land prices have really shot up in the last 2-3 years. Builders continue to get enough buyers for whatever absurd prices they quote. Now, that is a very strange thing when seen in the Indian market perspective. India is a very price-sensitive market. Whatever you sell you have to give the consumer a good value for money. So, when such people make a beeline for things priced exorbitantly, there may be large amounts of speculative investment money entering the market. Also, people now assume that property prices moving up is a sure thing. There is nothing called a sure thing in investing and this is a sign of overheating. Uneven price growth: Prices of real estate across the country, or even within cities, will have their own unique demand and supply factors. This needs to be understood in detail. A number of transactions and also corporate land bank values are ignoring this basic tenet of real estate investing. Questioning the capability to deliver: Although there have been huge plans of development in all the areas of real estate development whether residential, commercial, office, retail or SEZ, various questions have been raised on the execution capability of the developers in delivering the promised product within the specified time period. Oversupply: With the real estate story getting big in India, major plans are afoot for various types of real estate developments in big cities and small towns. There have been concerns of an oversupply situation arising 2-3 years from now. Still unorganized: India's property market remains unorganized and underdeveloped. This creates risk for investors. In the absence of a clear title to property, the risk of litigation is high. For those foreigners who invest in India via real estate investment trusts, there are no rules on the marking of their stakes to market or on whether they must pay stamp duty on transactions.
13
27819103911
Relation to the stock market: The true origin of this bubble-like situation may be traced to the stock market boom. The Indian stock market has been witnessing a nonstop bull run for an unusually long time. During the last couple of years, share prices have surpassed all expectations. The present situation can be compared to Japan's real estate crash in 1991. Prior to the crash, both the stock market and the property market were on fire. Profits from the stock markets used to be transferred to the property market and vice versa. The same thing is happening in India as well.

In March 2006, APIL tied up with Malaysia-based facilities management company Faber Group Berhad in a joint venture to foray into healthcare facilities management. HDFC realty bought 33% of Ansal SPV. APIL has big plans to invest Rs.30,000 cr in the next 3-4 years to build 16 townships. As the focus on infrastructure development by the government has been strengthening, growth prospects of Indian real estate sector looks bright. A study by housing development finance reveals that India is short of 20 million housing units. Deutsche Bank researchers forecast that by 2030 India will need up to 10 million new housing units per year. Another driving factor for the industry is SEZs, which come with tax exemptions like 10-year corporate tax holiday. Besides this, the fifth most attractive market in the world, the retail market of India, has also been contributing significantly on a large scale for the growth of the sector. Leading national and global players have big plans to invest in the infrastructure and construction of the retailing business. All these positive signals indicate that there is huge growth potential for the real estate industry. Joint ventures and consolidations will become the order of the day in realty space. However, there are challenges like fragmented industry with less transparency and high transaction costs. The condition can be improved with the increase in the professionalism of the industry and flow of organized money into the sector. Given its huge growth potential, real estate can be vindicated as the best investment avenue for long-term investors.
16

27819103911
THE KEY DRIVERS IDENTIFIED BEHIND THIS GROWTH ARE-IN CASE OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY:
Higher affordability (higher salaries, easy credit); tax benefits to borrowers; existing shortages; social structural changes in urbanized areas (splitting of joint families). In case of Commercial: IT/ITES sector expansion, the local consumption story leading to higher growth in corporate earnings; order books full; corporates expanding, multinationals entering India to service huge middle class. In Retail sector: Getting organized (3% of retail is organized as against 17% in China); foreign brands and local brands seeking visibility, new formats being developed; disposable incomes rising; younger population earning and spending well. In terms of infrastructure Indian real estate sector is relatively poor to global standards: If we compare Indian real estate sector with the global real estate industry, we fare very poorly in terms of our infrastructure. While in the US, no matter where you go, you have access to high quality infrastructure (drinking water, well-planned roads, greenery, power, communications, healthcare, education, etc.), here in India, even our signature cities are crumbling. We have not been able to create alternate cities in the manner that is required so as to release the pressure on the few that we have. Until new towns/cities come up, the few existing ones will continue to provide sub-standard quality of living and at very high prices. Another sharp contrast is in the sphere of public housing. While more than 50% of Mumbai lives in slums, most of Singapore lives in (subsidized) mass housing provided by the government.
18
27819103911
Whether this boom will sustain or not, the answer could be both a yes and a no. Yes, because of the above mentioned positive drivers. No, because a lot of factors/events can spoil the party; such as, an increase in interest rates globally and locally, a political directive (overseas) to reduce outsourcing to India, the emergence of China as an alternate outsourcing hub, a major terrorist attack, the policies of the government with respect to land and real estate supply, property prices becoming unaffordable, etc.Already in some locations it appears that the cost of land is way too high in comparison to the finished product, and there is a price limit beyond which resistance can set in. Therefore, there is a risk of having unsold inventory at a high cost. In some sectors, there is a re-emergence of the investor in large proportions. Hence, when the stock comes in the market for absorption in large volumes, will there be actual users to absorb it? That is still to be seen. On the retail front as a whole, though we (as a country) have barely scratched the surface of organized retail, I feel that in some locations there is an excess supply of mall space coming up. With terribly poor efficiencies and very high running costs, not to mention a complete lack of differentiation, its a matter of time before these malls will come back in the market to be repositioned. Today, there is a feeling of success seeing footfalls by the thousands, which reminds me of the internet days eyeballsplenty of visitors, poor conversion into shoppers.

BUYERS PERSPECTIVE:
1. Quality of Construction Obviously when one buys a property he makes sure that the quality of construction is good. Everyone while buying a new product wants to buy quality stuff. Same applies to the property. Every buyer wants to buy a well built house. 2. Pollution Free Environment The immediate surroundings of the property is always evaluated by the buyer. These days developers give due importance in making the surroundings beautiful with innovative and creative landscaping. They involve landscape architects from different corners of the world to give their customers the best. The NCR is becoming more and more popular among home buyers because of its greenery and pollution-free environment. 3. Water Availability Water Availability, power backup and safety and security are some very important factors which people do consider while purchasing the property. All these factors are hugely responsible for the transition of people from Delhi to housing complexes in NCR as many colonies of Delhi faces problem of shortage of water and power failure while availability of these essential facilities are ensured in housing complexes by the respective developers. 4. Occupancy - Due to increasing crime this factor is becoming more and more important for the buyers. They dont want to settle down in such a place where hardly anyone else lives. People prefer to stay in a reasonably well-occupied housing complex. But its also true that people dont prefer to stay in highly populated areas as it was observed in the case of Shipra Sun City, Ghaziabad where 5000 families living in one single housing complex fight for space and car parking place.
20
27819103911
5. Suitability of Home Type Nowadays due to the wide range of options available people can afford to be choosy. Now they dont need to compromise on anything. They dont buy a property till the time all of the essential things match their requirements. Developers do pay attention to the different requirements of different customers. Some want a flat on the second floor while some want a flat with two bedrooms. All these requirements are tried to be met by the developers. 6. Sport Complex / Recreational Facilities All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. People have started believing in this concept. Now each parent wants that within the complex his/her kids get all kind of sports to play. Even adults want different recreational facilities to be available in the housing complex, which may help them in eliminating work stress.
21
27819103911
DEVELOPERS PERSPECTIVE:
1. The major external factors which people consider while purchasing the property are Price, Availability of loan and Proximity to workplace. 2. The major In-Locality factors which people consider while purchasing the property are Quality of construction, Availability of water and Pollution-free environment

Noida has experienced rising prices in its existing commercial, retail and residential real estate. The new developing residential sectors are along the Greater Noida expressway. Occupancies in Noida are good and prices are looking northward. It is a good destination for the middle class, as far as accessibility, social and physical infrastructure and growth perspective are concerned.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
We can say that a real estate venture is successful when its marketing strategy is made carefully before launch. This experience came with the over of years in Real Estate Industry associated with various ventures at different level in different companies in different locations all over India. Generally many real estate development companies think the role of marketing professional comes only at the time of launch of the project. But, if we involve marketing professional in the budding stage of a venture, for certain and sure the venture will be a success. Before framing a perfect marketing strategy we need to look the following factors: 1. Land: Before acquiring the land, we need to decide what type of venture we are going to come up with. Whether its an Integrated Township, Group Housing, Affordable Housing, etc. The product mix and amenities largely depend on the city/town, the locality, the average income, future/past/present development, the profession of majority of the people in the particular city/town, the competitors product mix and amenities, etc. Keeping the aforesaid points in mind, when we acquire a land parcel, the main question in many of the builders is whats next? 2. The Survey: Next most important factor in success of real estate industry is the marketing survey. If the survey is perfect then the project is success. In survey, we need the nearby competitors price, product mix, amenities etc. Then we decide what extra we can offer to a customer in a cost effective manner. This is to have a slogan We are Different. The next crucial point that is the Pricing. which I am going to discuss is the most
3. The Pricing: The price is a major factor in deciding whether the project is a success or not. Usually in India, many builders keep the price matching the competitors price, +/- depending on amenities/largeness of the township/the
30
27819103911
company brand name etc. The never consult a PMC (Project Management Consultancy) to know the construction cost per sq.ft., never consult marketing department to calculate the marketing cost, never calculate the administration cost never calculate the land cost, and all other cost incurred in making a township and which impact on the per sq.ft (Square feet) price. A successful pricing strategy is to collect all the aforesaid data to find out the actual cost of construction per sq.ft. Once, we get the construction cost per Sq.ft, then add the profit margin which we decide to have on per Sq.ft. For example: The actual construction cost including all other cost is Rs. 3500/- per Sq.ft. + profit margin of 30% or 40% as decided by the company keeping in mind the competitors price and the amenities we provide. Once these exercise is done by the company, the next question arise is how to market it? 4. The Marketing Strategy: We should always remember that real estate is Not a push product, its a pull product. You cant send an executive area wise for a real estate campaign like FMCG or Consumer Durable Goods. Since its a pull product, our branding exercise should be carefully planned and executed. In general the marketing budget for well-known branded company in India is in between 5 to 6% of the total project cost. On the other hand a new comer or a FDI company, their marketing budget can vary between 7 to 8% of the total project cost. If the company is new in real estate, an additional advertisement cost on Company Branding also incurred apart from Project Branding. There are various methods of doing a marketing campaign for a real estate project. Its again depend on how big is your project. These are few commonly accepted methods of advertising a real estate venture, viz. Press Conferences, News Paper advertisement, Soft launch, etc. Before the actual launch of the project, most of the company do a soft launch or pre-launch where in guests, friends & relatives of the employees and management and very few potential customers are invited. The objective of soft launch or preHoardings, Direct Mailers, Sales Promotional activities, Organizing a get-together among well-known real estate Brokers/Agents, Doing a
31
27819103911
launch is to test the pulse of the customers towards the price we kept, the amenities we provide, and the overall opinion about our township. Also, to know the placement of our township in the locality with regards to our competitors. The general practice and most acceptable practice is to keep the per square feet price less in the soft launch. By doing so, we see the acceptance to our price in the market. Based on the response from the customers we can gradually increase the price on a Phase wise manner. By pricing this way, a positive aura is created in the market regarding the appreciation of the property which encourages the customers to invest in our property. 5. The Marketing Team: The Marketing Team consists of three departments: a. Marketing Department b. The Sales Department c. The Customer Care/the Customer Support Department. The overall success of a venture also depends on the Marketing team. In real estate a satisfied customer is an executive of the company. Referral marketing is one of the best ways to let others know about your real estate services. Perhaps the best thing about referral marketing is that you dont have to pay any money. There is not much work involved with referral marketing and even the majority of that work is done by clients. People naturally want to spread the word when they have received a good service. This word of mouth is known as referral marketing. When your clients have a positive experience with you, they naturally want to tell others about it. The more people who are informed about your excellent services, the more clients you will have. The more clients you have the more money you will make. Whats good about referral marketing is that you get money for making money.
The large part of your real estate businesss referral marketing strategy will come from the way you operate your business. The other part is developing an awareness of your referral marketing tactics. Your clients have to know that you want them to refer you to others. Otherwise, you cant rely on them to do so. If you have already been
32
27819103911
informing your clients that you would like them to refer you to others, then you can relax, this part of your work has been completed. On the other hand, if you made the assumption that your clients will naturally refer others to your business then you have some work to do. Assuming you havent informed any clients of your referral marketing strategy, you now need to determine that this will be a part of your business practices. Each customer that you deal with from now on should know, in some form or another, that you would like for him to refer you to another client. You might consider offering some kind of discount for each referral. Many real estate businesses offer such incentives. Apart of creating awareness of your referral marketing strategy, you need to resolve to a always operate in a manner that will give clients a reason to refer others to you. If a client does not have a positive experience with you, chances are that the client will tell someone of his bad experience. This will counter your referral marketing efforts. All it takes is one bad apple. Be aware of your actions at all times. If there are several facets to your business make sure that each client knows of these services as well. There may be times when a client only receives one of the services that you provide. This same client might know someone who is in need of another service that you provide but does know to refer the person to you. When this happens, your referral marketing has failed. Your referral marketing strategy must include informing clients of all the services you provide. By doing this you are ensuring that referral marketing works best for you. Developing a referral marketing strategy is not difficult to do. The two major aspects of referral marketing include letting clients know to refer you to others and giving them a reason to refer you. Once you have done both of these things, your referral marketing efforts will bring in new clients for your services.

less than world class. Infrastructure and economic development of some cities as well as the housing shortages are driving the boom. There is a fundamental change in the approach of the buyer, developer and the government. They all are seeking quality development. The middle class demands the best that money can buy. With the competition in the market, developers have to deliver the best within specified time frames and the government, discharged from the duty of construction has to keep everyones interest at heart. The Major reasons for boom in the real estate market are:
AFFORDABILITY
Another major reason for boom is that housing in India has become more affordable in recent times. A decade ago, a house cost nearly 15-20 times an individuals annual salary. Today the cost of a house has come down to just about three to four times an individuals annual pay package.

27819103911
not averse to taking risks. Nor are they hesitant when it comes to paying a price to realize their dreams
INVESTMENT OPTION
Competitive offers by home loan companies combined with good quality projects developed by reputed builders having a number of amenities have made investing in properties very attractive Wherever there is growth and opportunity, investors are bound to be around and traditionally real estate has been a safe investment option. Property is looked upon by many as an investment option that appreciates substantially when compared to other traditional tools of investment.
MIGRATION OF INDUSTRIES
Another major reason for boom in the real market is the migration of industries to smaller towns leading to rural progress. With villages turning into towns and towns becoming metros, the property market is growing steadily. This revolution has directly resulted in greater demand for not just housing but also for the overall real estate market with heightened demand for better infrastructure, transportation facilities, entertainment zones, shopping malls, multiplexes and more.
