Residential sector in India has witnessed a slowdown following a spurt in property prices and spiralling interest rates on home loans by about five per cent in last four years, an ASSOCHAM study said.

"With the repricing of interest rates in the last four years from 7 per cent to 12 per cent and the sky rocketing prices of the property, there has been a slowdown in the residential property market," it said in a paper on Realty Check.

Expressing concern over increasing role of speculators in the real estate sector, ASSOCHAM said: "It is necessary to check the flow of speculative money."

Commenting on the home loan GDP ratio, ASSOCHAM said this ratio is stagnated between five to six per cent in the country as 90 per cent Indian borrowers are first timers, while in the US and UK the ratio was as high as 50 per cent.

High interest rates coupled with soaring property prices have only impacted the affordability of buyers, demand, however, continues to persist and would become stronger and more intense in near future, ASSOCHAM President Sajjan Jindal said.

India has a shortage of about 19.4 million housing units of which 6.7 million is estimated for urban India. It is estimated that additional 45 million units would be required for both rural and urban areas by 2012, it said.

"All these estimates work out to make a strong case for higher home loan GDP ratio so that India and its population is able to keep a pace for meeting the demand for housing units," Jindal said.

The study said the share of housing loans in total personal loans have increased from 37.2 per cent in 2001-02 to over 51 per cent in 2006-07. Home loans constituted 54 per cent in the total household credit in the year ended March, 2007. ...

Chidambaram says to induct strategic investor in UTI Mutual Fund
.
The government is looking for a strategic partner to invest in UTI
Mutual Fund, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said today.
However, majority stake of the four promoters will not be diluted
following induction of the strategic partner, Chidambaram said after
addressing board members of the country\'s fourth largest mutual fund.
\"We are looking at ways to bring in a strategic investor without diluting
the majority holding of three banks and LIC (Life Insurance Corporation),\" he
said.
UTI Mutual Fund is feeling a little shackled and they want to compete
with other mutual funds, Chidambaram said while explaining the need to induct
a strategic partner.
UTI MF promoters are LIC, State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank and
Bank of Baroda.
\"Today, various options were considered. It was felt in pre-IPO--which is
already allowed by government and shareholders--we can look at strategic
investors instead of financial investor,\" said U.K. Sinha, chairman and
managing director of UTI Mutual Fund.
Sinha said the fund house had deferred its proposed IPO and therefore,
also its pre-IPO placement.
\"We had in our IPO\'s strategy, also a pre-IPO strategy, where we are
supposed to get 20% additional money from private placement,\" Sinha said.
Sinha declined to give any further details of the strategic partner.
\"Strategic partner means by nature it can provide synergy to our growth,
competitiveness. Going forward we have to decide who, what and how the
partner will be. I wish, I knew,\" Sinha said.
On the possibility of the kind of strategic partner, Sinha said it could
be a very big distributor or a very big investor in India from abroad or a
large group.
In January, UTI Mutual had sought Securities and Exchange Board of
India\'s approval for initial public offer, which was initially proposed to be
complete by March.
But the fund house had to put its IPO plans on hold due to turbulent
stock market conditions.
.
Chidambaram also addressed the board members of Specified Undertaking of
UTI today.
He reiterated that SUUTI will wind up its operations on Mar 31.
Chidambaram said SUUTI has already redeemed 210 bln rupees of funds as on
Mar 2007, and another 68 bln rupees under the US-64 scheme till now in the
current financial year.
Bonds worth 145 bln rupees were issued to US-64 investors, and also under
various assured returns scheme by erstwhile UTI.
The 6.75% tax free US-64 bonds worth 85 bln rupees were scheduled to
mature Jun 1, and another 60 bln rupees of 6.60% assured returns scheme bonds
will mature in April.
\"The residual assets (of SUUTI) will be transferred to the government on
Mar 31,\" Chidambaram said.

Market spurts as inflation softens for first time in 28 weeks

Intense buying throughout the day triggered by data showing a slower-than-expected GDP growth in Q1 June 2008 and softening of inflation, helped the market settle near day’s high. The BSE 30-share Sensex jumped 516.19 points. Strong global cues and healthy rollover of derivatives positions also aided the rally. The market breadth was strong. Interest rate sensitives were the flavor of the day. All the BSE sectoral indices posted gains.

India\'s gross domestic product (GDP) grew 7.9% in the June 2008 quarter from a year earlier, easing from the previous quarter\'s 8.8% rise as industrial activity slowed due to monetary tightening.

The government released the GDP data at about 11:00 IST today, 29 August 2008.

The BSE 30-share Sensex jumped 516.19 points or 3.67% at 14,564.53. The Sensex struck an intra-day high of 14,586.16 in late trade. At the day’s high, the Sensex gained 537.82 points. Sensex opened 230.68 points higher at 14,279.02, which was also its day’s low.

Grasim was the lone loser from the 30-member Sensex pack. The diversified firm was down marginally by 0.05% to Rs 1936.

Strong buying was witnessed in interest rate sensitive sectors viz. banking, real estate and auto, as the latest data showed inflation softened for the first time in 28 weeks.

India’s largest state-run bank by net profit State Bank of India surged 7.23% to Rs 1404.10 on 11.56 lakh shares. It was the top gainer from Sensex pack.

HDFC Bank (up 5.40% to Rs 1281), and ICICI Bank (up 5.88% to Rs 671), advanced. The Bankex vaulted 6.27% to 7,009.69 and was the top gainer among the sectoral indices on BSE

Annual wholesale price inflation rose 12.40% in 12 months to 16 August 2008, below the previous week\'s 12.63% but remained stuck at 13-year highs, data released by the government after trading hours on Thursday, 28 August 2008 showed. No conclusion can be drawn from one week\'s inflation number, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said.

Inflation has nearly tripled from 4.39% a year ago and now is riding around the highest levels since the current inflation series began being compiled 13 years ago.

The economic growth moderated to 7.9 per cent in the first quarter of current fiscal, against 9.2 per cent a year ago as rising borrowing costs impacted manufacturing and some other sectors.

However, moderation in the GDP growth was expected as RBI hardened interest rates to control double-digit inflation. If the first quarter GDP growth continues in the remaining months of this fiscal, the economy would expand at the rate more or less proj ected by the Finance Minister Mr P Chidambaram as he projected the economy to grow by close to 8 per cent, compared to 9 per cent in the previous fiscal.

Manufacturing growth almost halved to 5.6 per cent, against 10.9 per cent as rising interest rates impacted their expansion. Even though agriculture grew by lower rate of three per cent, it is quite considerable on the high base of 4.4 per cent.

The other sectors which witnessed considerable decline in growth rate are electricity, gas and water supply, which expanded at the rate of 2.6 per cent against 7.9 per cent. In the services sector, trade, hotels, transport and communication grew by 11.2 per cent, against 13.1 per cent. While, financing, insurance, real estate and business services expanded by 9.3 per cent, against 12.6 per cent.

However, community, social and personal services grew by higher rate of 8.4 per cent, against 5.2 per cent. Construction activities also expanded at higher rate of 11.4 per cent, as compared to 7.7 per cent, while mining and quarrying grew by 4.8 per ce nt, against 1.7 per cent. In absolute terms, India\'s GDP stood at Rs 7,82,357 crore in the first quarter of this fiscal, against 7,24,949 crore in the corresponding period of 2007-08. - PTI
