Introduction
The real estate sector in India has come a long way by becoming one of the fastest growing markets in the world. Growing at a
rate of about 20% per annum, the real estate sector is expected to become a US$ 180 billion market by 2020. The foreign
direct investment (FDI) is expected to increase to US$ 25 billion in the next 10 years from the present US$ 4 billion. It is the
second-largest sector after agriculture in terms of employment generation. It also invigorates the demand in over 250 ancillary
industries such as cement, steel, paint, brick, building materials, consumer durables and so on.
The real estate sector comprises of four sub-sectors: housing,
retail, hospitality, and commercial. While housing alone contrib-
utes to 5-6% of India’s GDP, the remaining three sub-sectors are
also growing at a rapid pace, meeting the increasing infrastructure
needs.
MARKET SHARE OF LEADING PLAYERS IN 2012
The Indian real estate sector has traditionally been an unorganised
sector but is slowly evolving into a more organised one. The sector
is however fragmented with a few large domestic players like DLF,
Unitech, Hiranandani Constructions, Tata Housing, Godrej Proper-
ties, Omaxe, Parsvanath, Raheja Developers, Ansal Properties and
Infrastructure and Mahindra Developers Ltd. to name a few.
PEST Analysis
Political: Issues related to clearance of projects wherein trade-off is required between environmental safety and development
Economic: Rising middle class with increasing disposable income along with better financing options has caused the boom in
real estate sector
Social: Need to ensure proper compensation to people losing their land and availability of low cost houses for those who can’t
afford the same
Technological: Use of cement blowing pumps, mould assembly techniques for construction these days
Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013
The Land Acquisition Bill, passed by Parliament during the Monsoon Session to replace a 119-year-old legislation, became a
law with President Pranab Mukherjee giving assent to it on 27th September 2013. The bill addresses two very vital and
contentious issues related to land acquisition: Concerns of farmers and those families whose livelihood is dependent on the
land acquired and facilitate land acquisition for industries, infrastructure and urbanization.
Real Estate Regulation and Development Bill, 2013
This provision is likely to provide another level of protection to buyers that have often resulted from information-asymmetry
while also preventing concerns regarding money laundering by the non-organised broker community. However, some of the
clauses under the bill are also viewed as hurdles by the industry’s stakeholders, particularly developers. One such clause is the
mandatory procurement of all construction approvals prior to project marketing / sales.
Other initiatives by the Government
Allowance of 100% FDI in real estate sector through automatic route in townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and
construction development projects to increase investment, generate economic activity, create new employment opportunities
and add to the available housing stock and built-up infrastructure
Easing of External commercial borrowing (ECB) limits for the builders by RBI low-cost affordable housing projects. Now,
developers and builders with three years of experience in undertaking residential projects are eligible to raise funds through
the ECB route
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)- projects worth Rs 41,723 crore (US$ 6.19 billion) for building of
1,569,000 houses/dwelling units for economically weaker/lower income group. The Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty
Alleviation has planned to introduce a single-window system for clearance of all real estate projects across the country. The
system could bring down the average approval time from the current 196 days to 45-60 days.

4. Financial services and the Big Four
The Big Four firms’ consulting practices have always been closely intertwined with the fortunes of the financial ser-
vices industry, writes Fiona Czerniawska, co-founder of Source.
Most recently, they have been able to take advantage of successive waves of regulatory change and the growing
importance of risk management on many fronts. Strong relationships with national regulators have helped create
barriers to entry, containing the threat from smaller, more specialized competitors. Audit-based brands play well in
the compliance and governance space. Above all else, above average growth in demand for consulting services in
the financial services sector has been mirrored by above average growth in the Big Four firms’ consulting practices,
allowing them to diversify and invest at a time when many other firms have had to cut back. Global procurement
managers increase use of risk-reward on consulting projects by 50%.
Consultancies get a boost from need for good advice
Good advice has always been at a premium. Now the business of giving advice appears to have struck a chord in
India Inc, emerging as a rare sector which boasts of being downturn-proof. So top consultancies and tax firms –
which advise companies with restructuring, mergers and amalgamations, regulatory and taxation issues - have
witnessed comfortable double-digit growth while other sectors continue to suffer on account of demand slowdown.
What has kept demand robust for consultancies are the increasing complexities in doing business, enhanced lev-
els of compliance and the rapid pace of changes within the policy and regulatory space. Corporate India realizes
that the price paid for expert advice is much lower than the fines it would have to cough up for non-compliance.
This is even as most CEOs agree that regulation is something which would continue to grow as would the disruptive
pace of change.
Legal market sees highest growth rate in five years in UK
Over 10% increase in fee income for FY14 Q1 - Double digit growth has not been achieved since April 2008.
The UK’s top 100 law firms have achieved double digit growth for the first time in five years, according to the latest
quarterly legal sector survey from Deloitte. The survey showed a 10.5% increase in fee income generated in Q1
(quarter ended 31 July 2013), compared with the same period last year (quarter ended 31 July 2012). The growth
was boosted by mergers within the sector, which accounted for approximately half of the fee income increase with
the balance due to an increase in general market activity.
Growth in the ’26-50’ and ’51-100’ size categories where most law firm transaction activity occurred reached
14.6% and 13.4% respectively. However, growth by fees per fee earner was more modest (3.5% for the ’26-50’
category and 2.3% for the ’51-100’ category), whilst chargeable hours per fee earner remained relatively flat in
comparison with last year (0.3% for the ’26-50’ category and 1.2% for the ’51-100’ category).
