He also asked the Deputy Commissioner of Palwal to prepare BPL Cards for all deserving families.

On farmers, Hooda said that those who pay borrowed amounts on time were being provided loans at 4 per cent interest rate.

Orbital trains to make NCR more accessible

NCR Realty Prices Affordable?

Experts feel realty could correct soon

If you are looking for a decent two BHK flat in the national capital, you have very dim chances of getting one for less than Rs 1 crore.

This is what your property broker would most likely tell you.

"I was looking for two bedroom set in Delhi and Noida for the past six months. But even with a budget of Rs 60 lakh I could not buy a flat for myself. All I was offered was the remote areas in Greater Noida, without proper infrastructure or connectivity," Nitin Agarwal, a senior executive with an auto company said.

In the last six months, home prices in all major metros have gone up very sharply putting it out of reach of the common man.

Two new corridors to link Delhi with Haryana, U.P.

Staff Reporter

Two new corridors have been identified for expansion of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) that will link the national Capital with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Following a meeting of the representatives of Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh with Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath on Thursday, it was announced that the RRTS will be expanded to the Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Rohtak-Hissar corridor and the Delhi-Shahadra-Baraut corridor.

Announcing this, Mr. Nath said these corridors will be taken up on priority basis and feasibility studies will be conducted soon. The feasibility report on the Delhi-Alwar, Delhi-Panipat and Delhi-Meerut corridors has already been completed and work on the detailed project reports will begin soon, the Minister said.

These three corridors of phase-I will cost approximately Rs.72,000 crore and all the States concerned have agreed to pull out all stops for RRTS construction, he said. A representative from Uttar Pradesh said the Government is committed to have a RRTS in place and will not let monetary considerations come in the way of development.

“The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister is clear that the State will do whatever is needed to create new economic opportunities. We will ensure the feasibility of the Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Baraut corridor is carried out fast. The Government will not allow money to hinder the economic development. We need to weed out corruption and instead spend money on public works,” Abhishek Misra, Minister of State for Protocol, UP, said.

The RRTS is an ambitious project that aims to create counter-magnet areas around the National Capital that will decongest the city and allow people to commute between NCR easily.

“The RRTS will allow people to commute to Delhi for work, while living elsewhere. The projects are being fast tracked,” said an official of the Urban Development Ministry.

Thursday’s announcement that all the stakeholders have agreed to raise funds and work on priority have also laid to rest the speculation that the RRTS will have difficulty taking off, on account of no consensus on land acquirement and fund-raising among the three States of Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. There have been concerns that the States may not be able to raise the money required to fund the massive project.

NCR Top Residential Hotspot for Investment

Many cities in the country, after the slowdown, are once again in the spotlight for the good investment potential they offer in the mid to long term

The only segment to emerge almost unscathed from the turmoil that the real estate sector underwent during the slowdown was the residential sector. Its resilience in the face of negative global cues was as much a result of the latent demand for affordable housing in India as the large share of the Indian real estate pie that the residential sector holds.

As with office space and retail malls, residential property did, to a lesser degree, suffer the effects of the global downturn in 2008 and 2009. However, unlike its counterparts, the residential sector has begun to show signs of stability in many markets, and even recovery in certain cities. Whether this trend will continue depends in large part on economic factors (mortgage rates, GDP growth, labour market stability) and on prudent decisions by developers on issues relating to pricing and quality of products being offered.

Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj Research conducted an analysis of residential markets across India to help identify investment hotspots for retail investors. While abnormally large returns can be found in specific projects throughout the country, the analysis was limited to India's seven largest cities due to high residential demand from their large populations, relatively higher transparency levels and presence of premium regional and national developers.

The top ten cities were Gurgaon, Mumbai, Noida, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Kochi.

Indians Prefer NCR/Delhi to Buy House

The real estate market in India continues to be an end-user market. However as far as investments are concerned, Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad are the top three most preferred real estate investment destinations in 2010, nationally. According to a recent survey, ‘Realty Trends 2010’ for Indian metros and Tier II cities by web portal Makaan.com, the realty sector in 2010 is going to be driven by end-users. Intere-stingly, the market on a whole is buzzing with a lot of activity.

As per the survey findings, amongst the respondents, the national capital tops the chart with 34 per cent buyers wanting to buy a house here. This is followed by Mumbai with 28 per cent interested buyers nationally and 11 per cent each in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The survey also reveals that due to recession and fluctuating property prices, property seekers were shying away from making a property purchase last year, but with the improving economy and slightly stable property prices, property seekers are ready to jump into the market this year. It’s interesting to know that most buyers, who are interested to buy a house, this year, want it for self-consumption. This confirms the fact that speculators, which drove the real estate boom from the years 2004 to 2007 are more or less out of the market. And even the ones who are willing to invest at this time are long-term investors.

NCR/Delhi Leaves Maharashtra Behind

NEW DELHI: Delhi has quietly become the new Bombay as Mumbai gets busy tilting at self-made windmills. For the first time, Delhi, along with its satellite, Gurgaon,has overcome the entire Maharashtra in terms of the number of registered firms.

According to data from the Registrar of Companies (RoC), around 44,000 new companies were founded in the national Capital region (NCR) in the first nine months of the financial year, which is four times that of Maharashtra. The gap could widen if the numbers for Noida, the third member of the NCR triad, are factored in.

"The job creation is happening at all levels including senior, middle and junior management and executives," Assocham General Secretary D S Rawat said, adding the growth is expected to continue for the next six months.

The sectors, which created most jobs included IT, engineering, textile, real estate, infrastructure, aviation and education.

The IT and IT-enabled services accounted for 57%.

National Capital Region (NCR/Delhi)- India’s Hotspot Destination

What Comprises of National Capital Region (NCR/Delhi)

National Capital Region (NCR) of India covers areas of Delhi as well as adjoining cities of neighbouring states of  Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. NCR region covers  a total area of about 33,580 km² and a population of about 4.9 crores.

The idea of NCR was first conceptualized  in first master plan of Delhi in 1962. The purpose behind the idea was to develop a metropolitan area around Delhi to divert increasing pressure of population from the north India. The idea came out of the necessity in order to protect Delhi's infrastructure from excessive pressure and a planned development of the region. In the year 1985, the Union Parliament enacted the  National Capital Region Planning Board Act, with the concurrence of the participating States of Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh and NCR Planning Board was constituted.

NCR States and Cities

Following are the cities that are covered under NCR region

• NCT Delhi (Area – 1480 sq km, population- approx 1.4 crore)
• Haryana (contribution area to NCR- 13140 sq km). Included cities are   Gurgaon, Faridabad ,  Mewat ,  Palwal ,  Rewari ,  Jhajjar,  Rohtak ,  Sonipat and Panipat
• Uttar Pradesh (contribution area to NCR- 10850 sq km). Included cities are Gautam Budha Nagar Dist (Noida and Greater Noida) , Ghaziabad, Bulandshahr and Meerut
• Rajasthan (contribution area to NCR- 7830 sq km). Included cities are Bhiwadi and Alwar

The NCR Planning Board is currently preparing a regional plan for 2021 that includes Rapid Rail Transit System, peripheral expressways, DMRCL corridor, rail orbital corridor and rail-cum-bus transit system. Please follow below posts on the subject

Fast Trains to NCR towns under RRTS

The vision is really so grand that in about 10 years, it will totally change the face of NCR region as we know it today. The travel would become fast, affordable and comfortable for the residents of currently far-away places such as Meerut, Alwar, Rohtak , Bulandshahr and Panipat. Below link provides the NCR Regional Plan for 2021. The regional plan not only takes care of roads and rails but also includes planning for power, drinking water, irrigation, sewage and solid waste management.

As per 2001 census, the total population of NCR was 3.7 crores and by year 2011, the population is expected to increase to 4.9 crore. By 2021, the planners are expecting a population of 6.5 crores due to immigration driven by jobs being created in the region.

NCR Region Highest Job Creator

In a recent survey done by Assocem revealed that NCR region was the highest job creator in India by creating about 34 percent of total jobs during April-Aug 2010. Read More on this

Surprisingly the second placed Mumbai region has been left far behind at 12 percent new job creations (is it Raj Thakray effect!). Clearly, it tells a long story in short that NCR region has come on the national stage (and to stay for a long time) due to infrastructural developments that have taken place due to CWG games and would be taken up as part of 2021 NCR Planning Board.

Latest Job Creation Report of 2013

NCR Tops new Company Registration

According to data from the Registrar of Companies (RoC), around 44,000 new companies were founded in the national Capital region (NCR) in the first nine months of the financial year, which is four times that of  Maharashtra. The gap could widen if the numbers for Noida, the third member of the NCR triad, are factored in. Read More on this

NCR Attracts $1.85 billion during April-Aug 2010

NCR, including parts of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, received USD 1.85 billion (Rs 8,476 crore) in FDI during the period Apr-Aug 2010. The region accounted for 20 per cent of the total FDI in the country. This is incredible since most of the big companies have their corporate office in Mumbai but have fledging operations in NCR region (and that FDI has not been accounted under NCR account). Read More on this

NCR Most Preferred to Settle Down

In sync with topping the job creation list, the NCR region also topped the charts in a recent survey ‘Realty Trends 2010’ for Indian metros and Tier II cities conducted by by web portal Makaan.com. As per the survey findings, amongst the respondents, the national capital tops the chart with 34 per cent buyers wanting to buy a house here. Read More on this

Therefore 34% new job creations is equally matched by 34% respondents who would prefer to settle down in NCR region.

NCR Investment Hotspot Destination for Retail  Investors

Recently, Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj Research conducted an analysis of residential markets across India to help identify investment hotspots for retail investors.  The NCR region again topped this list of hotspot destination for investment with Gurgaon standing tall  at number 1 position and Noida coming at no. 3 after Mumbai (2^nd position).

Delhi-NCR Largest Urban Agglomeration in India

Delhi NCR is the top urban agglomeration with a population of 21,753,486 (2.17 crores) while Greater Mumbai with a population of 18,414,288 is the top city in population;

As per the preliminary results of the Census 2011, released by the Registrar General of India, Greater Mumbai with a population of 18,414,288 continues to be India’s biggest city, followed by Delhi—16,314,838 and Kolkata—14,112,536. These three cities are India’s mega-cities with 10 million plus population.

But, when we consider Urban Agglomeration (UA) as an extended city comprising built-up area of a central core and any suburbs linked by continuous urban areas, there is a change at the top. Delhi NCR, with the inclusion of Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida and Ghaziabad becomes the No 1 UA with a population of 21,753,486, ahead of 20,748,395 of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region comprising Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Vasai-Virar, Bhiwandi and Panvel. Kolkata has clocked moderate growth.

Bengaluru is now almost as big as Chennai. Bengaluru with an UA population of 8,728,906 (8,499,399 excluding Hosur) is now bracketed with Chennai—8,917,749 (8,696,010 excluding Kancheepuram). Strain on civic amenities and commuting woes are consequently high in Bengaluru. However, it is still an important engine for growth in modern industries and job sectors in urban India.

Hyderabad, which was marginally bigger than Bengaluru in 2001, has now become the sixth largest city with a population of 7,749,334. Ahmedabad at 6,352,254 and Pune at 5,049,968, make up the other larger metros. Surat at 4,585,367 continues to grow rapidly and had added over 1.7 million during the decade. Jaipur, with a population of 3,073,350 has overtaken Kanpur for a spot in the Top 10.

Mumbai, Delhi NCR are most preferred investment destinations

Dec 31, 2012, 10:46AM IST

Mumbai/Delhi NCR

With year 2013 just around the corner real estate investors across the country seems to have decided where to put in their money in the coming year. If results of a survey Investments in 2013, conducted by MagicBricks.com, are any indication of investment patterns in India, then majority (nearly 25 per cent) of the prospective home buyers across the country prefer Mumbai for their real estate investments. Delhi NCR follows at the second spot with 22 per cent respondents selecting the capital city.

While Delhi is the capital state Mumbai is the financial capital of the country. “Any financial destination is bound to grow in terms of capital appreciation,” says Manoj Goyal, director, Raheja Developers. “This works in favour of both Mumbai and Delhi NCR. Particularly in Mumbai, due to the huge gap between demand and supply, the scope of appreciation is always high. This makes it an ideal investment destination in spite of high realty prices,” he adds.

Further a large number of investors are looking to put in their money in emerging suburbs of Mumbai city. “Budget housing is a growing trend in the far flung suburbs of Mumbai. These locations not only offer properties at affordable rates as compared to the main city but also ensure high return on investments,” explains Vijay Lakhani, MD, Lakhani Builders.

Delhi, on the other hand, still has a lot of scope for economic and infrastructural development. “In the last 10 years Delhi NCR has witnessed the maximum foreign direct investments in various industries. Thus the city has been gearing up for a lot of economic activity creating increased job opportunities,” adds Goyal. Thus the scope of further growth coupled with availability of jobs makes it a coveted real estate destination.

Younger generation have large disposable incomes that they want to invest. Thus they prefer to pay EMIs on their own house rather than paying rents while living in cities like Mumbai and Delhi for their work. This was also evident from the survey which revealed that almost 50 per cent of the respondents want to purchase a home for self use. High property prices, it seems, is no limiting factor for those contemplating about property investments in Mumbai and Delhi NCR real estate. Thus increased scope for capital appreciation in Mumbai and economic growth in Delhi is set to drive real estate investments in 2013.

Delhi-NCR topped in job generation this year: Survey

Our Bureau

Overall job generation plummeted 21% between Jan-Dec, says Assocham

New Delhi, Dec 25: 

While this year saw a decline of about 21 per cent in new job generation across sectors, Delhi-NCR region fared better than other regions.

A total of over 5.3 lakh jobs were generated in the country during January to December 15, with over 2.8 lakh jobs in first half of the year and over 2.4 lakh jobs during July-December 15, says an analysis titled ‘Job Trends Across India in 2012’ by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham).

Among regions, Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) topped by generating over 1.1 lakh jobs, followed by Mumbai with over 77,000 jobs, Bangalore with over 75,000 jobs and Chennai with about 44,000 jobs.

Kolkata generated the least number of jobs among metros at over 25,000 jobs, D.S. Rawat, Secretary General of Assocham, said.

Among sectors, information technology topped with over 2.1 lakh jobs generated between January and December 15, followed by academics and education with over 34,500 jobs.

The insurance sector generated over 27,100 jobs, followed by banking at 24,500 jobs, automobile (22,890), financial services (22,500), manufacturing (20,400), engineering (18,650), hospitality (16,100) and IT hardware (15,600).

The analysis found only academics and education sector registering a rise in job generation growth of over 16 per cent in the first six months, while other sectors saw a dip in job growth by over 10-50 per cent.

Overall, the analysis found a decline in job generation in most cities in the later half of this year.

Among non-metros, Kochi registered the highest job generation growth of over 30 per cent with the number of jobs rising from over 1,500 in January-June this year to over 2,000 between July and December 15. Agra saw a rise of 14 per cent, Ajmer 12 per cent, Udaipur 10 per cent, Kota 7 per cent, Kanpur 5 per cent, Vellore 5 per cent and Jalandhar 4 per cent.

The chamber sourced inputs primarily from data tracked on a daily basis for vacancies posted by about 4,000 companies via job portals such as timesjobs.com, naukari.com, monster.com, shine.com and job-related advertisements published in national and regional dailies in about 56 cities and 32 sectors, an Assocham release said.
