The document provides an overview of the Indian real estate market in the first half of 2017. Some key findings include: - Residential launches and sales declined 41% and 11% respectively year-over-year, reaching their lowest levels in the last 5-7 years, due to the impacts of demonetization and new regulations. However, affordable housing saw stronger growth. - Office transactions declined 10% year-over-year due to industry headwinds facing the major IT/ITeS sector and a supply crunch. Vacancy levels remained low at 12%. - Specifically in Chennai, the residential market saw marginal recovery with launches and sales up 4-5% year-over-year

40. 40
A slew of the most disruptive reforms in independent
India became a reality in a span of a few months.
Described by many as the Brahmastras against black
economy in an unorganised industry, demonetisation,
RERA, the Benami Prohibition Act and the recently
rolled out GST have time and again pushed the already
sluggish market to the brink. But we believe that these
were corrective measures long due to transform real
estate into a robust, transparent and thriving sector.
The short-term hiccups grappling the industry would
eventually fade away and bear rich dividends in the
future.
Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director
