(B) GLOBAL ECONOMY
Global growth is projected at 3.3 percent both in 2025 and 2026, below the historical (2000-19) average of 3.7 percent.
The global economy is holding steady, although the degree of grip varies widely across countries.
Global economy remains remarkably resilient, with growth holding steady as inflation returns to target," the IMF said whilepredicting the global real GDP growth at 3.2% for 2024 and 2025, the same rate as in 2023. Global real gross domesticproduct (GDP) growth is estimated at 3.2% in CY 2023, and projected to grow at the same rate in CY 2024 and CY 2025.
The IMF report attributed the slow pace of growth to several factors such as high borrowing costs, withdrawal of fiscalsupport, long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, weak growth in productivity andincreasing geoeconomic fragmentation. Global inflation moderated from its peak in the middle of CY 2022 while economicactivity continued to grow, thus averting a possible global recession.
IMF expects global headline inflation to fall further from the annual average of 6.8% in 2023 to 5.9% in 2024 and to 4.5% in
2025, with advanced economies returning to their inflation targets sooner than emerging markets and developingeconomies. Risks to the global outlook for 2024 seem broadly balanced. These risks arise from price spikes stemming fromgeopolitical tensions and regional conflicts such as those in Gaza, attacks in the Red Sea, and continued war in Ukraine, aslowerthan expected decline in core inflation and interest rates remaining higherthan expected.
On the upside are factors such as a short-term fiscal boost as many countries go to elections in 2024, faster monetary policyeasing, and increase in productivity from technologies such as artificial intelligence.
Growth in India also slowed more than expected, led by a sharper-than-expected deceleration in industrial activity.
Global headline inflation is expected to decline to 4.2 percent in 2025 and to 3.5 percent in 2026, converging back to targetearlier in advanced economies than in emerging market and developing economies.
Global disinflation continues, but there are signs that progress is stalling in some countries and that elevated inflation ispersistent in a few cases. The global median of sequential core inflation has been just slightly above 2 percent for the pastfew months.
Where inflation is proving more sticky, central banks are moving more cautiously in the easing cycle while keeping a closeeye on activity and labor market indicators as well as exchange rate movements. A few central banks are raising rates,marking a point of divergence in monetary policy.

India's GDP growth for FY2024-25 is expected to be between 6.5-7.0%, despite a slower-than-expected Q2 growth of5.4%. The economy is projected to recover quickly, supported by anticipated interest rate cuts and lower inflation. Inflationis expected to moderate with the CPI forecasted to be 4.8% by March 2025.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised India's growth forecast for 2024-25 to 6.8% from 6.5% on the back ofstrong domestic demand and a rising working-age population.
The Reserve Bank of India, the country's central bank, estimates the economy to grow at 7% in the current financial yearthat started on April 1.
The IMF estimates Asia's third largest economy's gross domestic product to grow at 6.5% in the next financial year, it said inthe World Economic Outlook released on 16 April 2024.
The agency also revised upwards the growth figure for 2023-24 to 7.8% from 6.7% it had forecast in January. India's ownofficial estimates had pegged growth at 7.6%.
Growth surprised on the upside in the second half of 2023 as robust domestic demand fueled activity, especially inemerging Asian economies. Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and most notably India, recorded sizable positive growthsurprises. Growth for the region reached 5 percent in 2023, much stronger than a growth of 3.9 percent in 2022, and thisrepresents a 0.4 percentage points higher than what we had projected in the October 2023 Regional Economic Outlook,and the momentum carries over into 2024. We now project the region to grow by 4.5 percent in 2024 and upward revision of
0.3 percentage points relative to October. With this, Asia would contribute about 60 percent of global growth. The region isprojected to grow by 4.3 percent in 2025.
The driver of growth- for India, we expect investment to contribute disproportionately to growth, much of it public, especiallyin India. In emerging Asia, outside China and India, robust private consumption will remain the main growth engine,(source: IMF website)
Prudent macroeconomic policies have supported India's economic resilience, with growth expected to recover from arecent softening and inflation expected to converge to target. Risks to the outlook include deepening geoeconomicfragmentation and a slower pace of domestic demand recovery.
The Indian commercial real estate sector continued its robust recovery in FY 2024-25, driven by strong demand for qualityoffice and retail spaces across major metropolitan cities. According to industry reports, the top seven cities—Mumbai, DelhiNCR, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, Pune, and Hyderabad—witnessed significant new supply and leasing activity, withretail space leasing volumes surpassing previous years' levels. Domestic retailers dominated leasing, underscoring thesector's resilience and growth potential.
The Indian real estate market is growing at a rapid pace. It is expected to increase to US$ 1 trillion in 2030 from US$ 200million in 2021, making it the third largest globally. The real estate sector contributed around 7% to India's GDP in FY2018-19, and its share is expected to advance to about 13% in 2025. The sector has robust forward and backward linkages withcore sectors of the economy, namely, steel, cement, and other building materials, which directly/indirectly impacts 270industries.
The commercial real estate market in India is well organized and highly competitive. Rising economy, digitalization, growthin the IT/ ITeS sector and varied government reforms (industrial corridors, FDI policy, RERA, REITs) have resulted in higherdemand for the commercial real estate space. Global investment poured in as the government relaxed FDI norms,promoting the development of malls and other organized retail spaces. At the same time, the digital economy and e-commerce attributed to a demand for coworking office spaces, smart warehousing, and logistics hubs.
The demand for commercial real estate has increased as a result of the booming economy and the returning workers tooffices, as was previously said however with another issue that is becoming more significant is the rise of flexible leasingmodels like co-working spaces / managed offices.
Innovative office space ideas, business-friendly efforts and top-notch amenities for tenants are further factors driving theincrease in demand.
Due to the removal of limits connected to the pandemic, vacancies in Grade A offices are now returned to being stablecompared to the previous two years. JLL predicts that due to rising demand, the Grade A office market would reach 1.2billion square feet by 2030.
Commercial real estate leases are typically long-term, and every three years, the rental rate increases by 15%, making itprofitable for developers. This has fueled the creation of a number of new office space projects that are currently underconstruction and will be open soon.
Threat related real estate industry include following amongst others:
1. Political uncertainty - the change in leadership affects heavily the taxation system which has link to the real estatesector. When the political scenario changes leadership economic environment gets influenced. A war between thecountries may affect the real estate industry.
2. Interest rates- when interest rates rise, it has firm impact on real estate markets. This rise will reduce the demandamongst the customers.
3. Economy and affordability - when the economy goes down, the affordability of the potential customer also goes downwhich in turn affects the growth of real estate industry
4. Regulatory changes and compliance requirements.
4.5. Natural disaster-When natural disaster occurs; it affects the real estate industry adversely
During the year under review, your company continues to operate in 1 segment only which is real estate leasing of property.
In the year 2022-23, the Company has purchased pre-leased commercial property in Pune which is a rapidly developingcity and counted among the best urban infrastructure in India. It is ranked second in the Ease of Living Index 2020 by theMinistry of Housing and Urban Affairs in India. It was ranked highest among all Indian cities by Mercer's 21 st Annual Qualityof Living Rankings in 2019 and ranked seventh in terms of per capita income. The city's real estate sector growth is drivenby IT, education, automobile, and manufacturing sectors. India's Smart Cities Mission has driven the growth of Pune'surban infrastructure. Investments valued at more than Rs. 650 Bn are expected to be infused over eight years forestablishing metro rail links, a new airport terminal, and a ring road.
During the year under review, the property of the Company, factory shed and a part of office building situated at ButiboriMl DC area, Taluka Hingna, District Nagpur has started generating income in form of the license fees with effect from August2024.
The outlook for the commercial real estate sector remains positive, with sustained demand for quality office and retailspaces. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities, supported by its strong brand, diversifiedportfolio, and focus on innovation and sustainability. Expansion plans are on track, and the company remains committed todelivering value to all stakeholders.
Commercial Real Estate in India:
India's commercial real estate market has been steadily growing, and the rise of small and medium real estate landdevelopers and a segment of institutional capital has acted as a catalyst for the sector. Additionally, the development ofrobust office infrastructure has increased the country's economic activity, creating opportunities for real estate-focusedstartups.
Pune is a rapidly growing city in Maharashtra with a thriving economy and a strong presence in the IT, manufacturing, andautomobile industries. It is home to many large corporations, including Amazon, Bajaj.TATA, and Infosys, making it an ideallocation for commercial real estate investments.
The demand for commercial property in Pune for sale is rising. With upcoming properties offering a range of options forinvestors. From commercial shops for sale in Pune to large office spaces, there are plenty of opportunities to tap into. Realestate Pune developers also focus on building robust office infrastructure to meet the growing demand from occupiers.India's population is expected to be 1.52 Bn by 2036 with a 70% increase in the urban areas. India's urban population isexpected to grow from 35% in 2022 to 39% by 2036, driving the growth of the real estate sector. India has more than 50% ofthe population below the age of 25 and more than 65% of the population below the age of 35. This demographic advantageis expected to translate into increased real estate demand.
The Government of India allowed FDI up to 100% in the Indian real estate sector, which is expected to attract increasinginvestments.
The pandemic-infused trends coupled with low-interest rates, affordability, and other favorable factors harnessed thepositive sentiments in these markets resulting in growing property sales
