India’s construction sector levels up as housing demand spurs economy
If India needed any more proof that it was in the midst of a huge housing boom, it got in this week’s GDP data, heightening expectations that the industry will continue to power the economy for years to come. The construction sector grew 13.3% in July-September from a year earlier, up from 7.9% in the previous quarter and its best performance in five quarters, the data released on Thursday showed.
That helped India expand at a forecast-beating 7.6%, making it one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies. In contrast, Western economies have been squeezed by high interest rates and energy prices, while China has been hobbled by a debt crisis in its property sector. The long-awaited boom – which has created millions of jobs – comes after about six years of debt and pandemic-induced downturn before the construction sector began improving last year and hitting its stride this year. It has been driven by rising incomes for many Indians, a severe housing shortage in big cities and strong population growth.
The world’s most populous nation had an urban housing shortage of around 19 million units last year – and that is expected to double by 2030, according to government estimates.
“The robust growth in construction has significantly contributed to the economic growth – and is likely to play the same role in next couple of quarters,” said Sunil Sinha, an economist at India Ratings and Research, an arm of rating agency Fitch.
Builders are bullish long-term with many saying the boom could last two to three years and some even more optimistic.
“The housing market could continue to perform well for another three to four years,” Sanjeev Jain, Managing Director at Parsvnath Developers, a leading real estate company, noting that India is in the initial stages of a housing growth cycle.
Home sales in India’s seven largest cities, including Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore, rocketed 36% in the July-September quarter from a year earlier to more than 112,000 units, despite an 8%-18% increase in prices, according to real estate consultancy Anarock.
There was also a 24% increase in new residential projects being launched, data from the consultancy showed. “The home sales are driven by first-time buyers, and nearly 80% of the houses have been bought by end users,” said Prashant Thakur, head of research at Anarock, adding that there was also strong demand from existing home owners to move to more spacious apartments.
In Mumbai, for example, demand has been strong despite an increase in interest rates of about two percentage points, according to Jayesh Rathod, director of Mumbai-based Guardian Real Estate Advisory. His company has sold over 5,500 flats in Mumbai and on its outskirts in Thane so far this year, a jump of more than 50% compared to the same period a year ago, he said.
Underpinning demand has been salary hikes for workers in big cities. Average hikes for sectors such as e-commerce, healthcare, retail and logistics have remained above 10% for a second straight year, according to EY estimates.
Home prices in India are expected to rise faster than consumer inflation next year, according to a Reuters poll, with property analysts saying growth will be driven by higher earners snapping up newly built luxury residences in cities.
