PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE (PERE)

Total investment by private equity (PE) funds in the real

estate sector for the second quarter of 2014 was
approximately INR12.9 billion. Investments during the
quarter were restricted to the residential asset class.

Ten deals were recorded during the second quarter,

compared to 18 deals recorded in the previous quarter;
two deals were by international funds.

Despite a few large transactions taking place, average deal

size dropped 17% to INR1.29 billion per deal.

The total foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow in the

construction development sector for the first quarter of
2014 was noted at INR19.2 billion, an increase of 34%
from the previous quarter.

Contribution to the overall FDI by the construction

development sector was 4% in the first quarter of 2014,
within the range of 3-7% noted in 2013.

With relaxation in FDI norms in the latest budget

presented on July 10, the FDI inflow is expected to
increase substantially in the future.

Post the granting of taxation pass-through to REITs, its

rollout by the Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is
expected later this year.
