South Tops in Faster Project Completions

As the use of modern construction technology in large under-construction residential projects gains momentum, southern cities get top honours for speedy project completions.

In the backdrop of combined effect of RERA, use of construction technology, and the increasing market share of large and listed developers, the last decade (2014-H1 2024) has seen homebuyers’ wait for possession in large under-construction projects in the top 7 cities reduce to 4.9 years, from 6.1 years in the 2010-2019 period.

According to Anuj Puri, Chairman, Anarok, the latest Anarock data reveals that the average time to complete large residential projects of 500+ units in top 7 cities clocked in at 4.9 years from 2014-H1 2024, from 6.1 years in the preceding decade. Large and listed players account for nearly 34 percent of the market today. The stringent rules imposed on project delays by the regulatory authorities have also been a key factor in reducing the completion time.

All projects launched and completed between 2010-2019 and 2014-H1 2024 in the top 7 cities were analysed in the study, and were further segregated into developments with less than 500 units larger ones with over 500 units.When it comes to completing large projects, the top southern cities were markedly ahead of their northern, western, and eastern counterparts. For all large projects launched and completed between 2014 and H1 2024, the average completion time was lowest in Chennai with 3.6 years, while Hyderabad and Bangalore clocked in at 4.2 and 4.8 years respectively.

“For most large projects in NCR and MMR, developers had purchased land outright, thereby compromising their overall financial health and delivery capability,” says Puri. “On the other hand, most projects in the main southern cities are joint developments where landowners usually get a certain share of the developed units. In NCR, extreme weather conditions and the statutory restrictions imposed on construction during spike in  pollution levels also have an adverse impact on construction timelines in the region. Most developers have gradually reduced their leverage and with stronger financial conditions, are able to focus on execution.”

It is noteworthy that at 36 percent , Chennai has the highest reduction of construction time among the top 7 cities, despite incessant rains during the monsoon season causing major challenges..

Small & Large Projects: Completion Trends (2014-H1 2024)

The average time taken to complete smaller projects of less than 500 units in the top 7 cities was 4.0 years, and 4.9 years for large projects of  more than 500 units each.

In Kolkata, large projects launched and completed between 2014 to H1 2024 took the longest average time of 5.7 years to complete,

In MMR, it took an average of 4.7 years to complete small projects, and around 5.2 years for large projects.

In Pune, the average project completion time was 4.3 years for small projects, and 5.4 years for large ones.

In NCR, homebuyers waited an average of 4.7 years for small projects and 5.4 years for large ones.

In Chennai and Hyderabad, the average completion time for small projects was 3 years and 3.1 years respectively, and 3.6 and 4.2 years for large projects, respectively. In Bangalore, it was 3.5 years for small projects and 4.8 years for large ones. As larger projects gain momentum across the cities and new construction technology is implemented, construction time will reduce further. Continuity of execution across major projects is becoming a major factor with financially sound developers whose sales volumes have enabled continued cashflows.

VVS Laxman Remembers the ‘Unrest’ Situation in SRH Camp

Former India cricketer and the mentor of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) VVS Laxman, has recently shared the incidents of the camp when the news of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji and CEO Kasi Viswanathan had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus came in the news. Laxman said that the ‘apprehensions mounted’ once SRH camp received the news.

“We had full confidence in the protocols that had been put in place even when we moved from one city to another, but once we learnt of the positive tests in the KKR and CSK camp, our apprehensions mounted,” he wrote in his column in TOI. “We [SRH] had just finished a match against CSK and several of us caught up with old friends, so there was understandable anxiety and unrest until the test results were out.”

The veteran, who can be seen in the dugout along with SRH players, has shared that he has no idea how their wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha got infected by the deadly virus. He further added that Wriddhi was about to play the match against Rajasthan Royals but he felt ‘under the weather.’

“Wriddhi was slated to play Sunday’s match against Rajasthan Royals but felt a little under the weather on Saturday night. We immediately placed him in isolation and, despite our prayers, he returned a positive test. We are still wondering how, despite taking all precautions, Wriddhi got infected,” Laxman again shared.

However, the former batting great backed the decision of postponing the cash-rich league as he believed that the health and safety of players and others staff should be the first priority during this tough situation.

“Unfortunate as it might appear, the right decision was taken to suspend the IPL following the breach of bio-secure bubbles of four franchises across two cities,” he expressed.

However, the 2021 edition of IPL got postponed after several players got affected by Covid-19 despite being in the bio-bubble in multiple cities like Ahmedabad and New Delhi as well. It started with two Kolkata Knight Riders players Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier who have tested positive and then three support staff of CSK reported positive following Amit Mishra and Wriddhiman Saha who eventually tested positives too that led to the cancellation of the tournament for the time being with immediate effect.

Why Mobile Applications for a Website Make Sense?

In today's era, mobile phones are filled with applications. On average, every mobile phone user uses thirty applications per month. Application categories vary from entertainment to shopping, from traveling to cooking, from studying to social media and more.

 Fifty-seven percent of all digital media usage comes from mobile applications. According to Statista, 205 billion applications were downloaded in 2018, which is fifteen percent more than the number of applications downloaded in 2017. This trend is expected to grow to twenty-five percent by 2022.

  The Reasons behind the Increasing Popularity of Mobile Applications

 The number of applications used by users continues to increase. The number of mobile applications made by businesses is increasing. There are applications for managing multiple applications on your mobile phone. This is the peak of application popularity. But why? Why do businesses launch applications? Why do users download, install, and use applications? What is the right reason behind all this popularity? Here is a list of reasons behind the popularity of mobile applications:

 1. Make Life Easier

There are applications to order tickets, conduct financial transactions, get information, connect with friends and strangers, educate your child and operate basic electronic gadgets at home. All of these and other things are easier for mobile phone users. The internet of things, together with the latest technology in Apps Development Companies Bangalore, has given users smarter and simpler ways to do things. If a user wants daily weather updates, he doesn't need to look for them online. All he has to do is download an application that tells him about the weather in his location. If users forget to turn off the air conditioner before leaving home, then people can do it remotely by using the application on their mobile. If users want to travel to a certain location but don't want to get stuck in traffic, then they can use the application to check minimum traffic hours.

 2. Fun Application

The definition of socialization has changed over the past few decades. Now people hardly communicate with each other when waiting for trains, flights, interviews, or sitting somewhere in general. They are busy with their mobile phones. They are checking social media updates or playing games or chatting or getting information. Social media applications and games are an important part of people's lives. They are not used only when someone is free. People are addicted to this mobile application and enjoy it. Businesses also take advantage of this opportunity to connect with their potential clients. Users don't even mind watching advertisements for simple or key credit or energy or other benefits. Mobile applications, in general, provide user assistance, comfort, pleasure, and entertainment.

 3. People Spend Time on Smartphones

The average user checks his mobile phone every eighteen minutes. This is a resolute activity. People don't look at their mobile phone to call someone four times in an hour. However, they check their Mobile phones to read notifications, check for updates and play games. All of this happened to the application. This is another reason why businesses launch applications.

 Why Do Businesses Need Mobile Applications?

At present, every industry utilizes mobile applications from Cost to App like ubereats to health services, from banks to e-commerce, from sports channels to the news industry. Mobile applications have demonstrated their worth and value in almost all fields. This is how mobile apps can help your business too.

 1. Communication and involvement

In this fast-paced world, people easily move from one trend to another. Linking it to your brand is a big challenge. Customer acquisition is one task and retention is another task. Applications can help you stay in touch with existing clients and interact with them regularly. Push notifications are one example of such marketing tactics. As mentioned above, people spend time on their smartphones. If your business application is on their mobile, then it's easy for you to get their attention and communicate with them often.

 2. Smarter Marketing and Branding

Launching the application is a way to stay in touch with your clients. Whenever a business launches an application or adds new features to it; it allows them to do a marketing campaign around it. A campaign that tells customers about the benefits of using their business application. This allows them to carry out successful press releases and social media campaigns.

 If consumers have your application on their mobile, then they can see your logo every time they check their mobile screen. This acts as a brand reminder and can leave a lasting impact on your customer's memories. Brand recall is considered a valuable asset in any industry. You can also send notifications and messages to them to stay in touch with them.

 3. Lead Generation and High Conversion

It's easier to order products and services while sitting on the couch in your living room. Customers can avoid traffic and save time and effort. Most business applications provide the facility to make financial payments via the telephone itself. By using data provided by consumers, you can easily send those relevant offers and information. This can make you more connected with users and your business has a higher chance of generating potential customers.

 When businesses use data obtained through applications efficiently, they can easily target customers who have high intentions with the right product or agreement. This makes it easier for the sales team to convert leads such as from potential customers into existing customers.

 4. Get Data and Insights

When people download any business application on their mobile phones, they provide the company space on their smartphone. This gives access to data and allows companies to get useful information. This is one of the most important aspects of having a business application. Information about consumers can help increase the effectiveness of any marketing or sales strategy. Decision-makers can plan, adjust, or implement their strategies and efforts optimally by analysing the information provided by application users.

 Efficient marketing, more prospects, higher sales, and advanced decision-making capabilities are just a few reasons why organizations develop, launch, and maintain applications.
