Is The Indian SEZ Story Faltering?The government has recently done away with the minimum land requirement for SEZs whilst also reducing specified minimum built-up areas. In addition to this, taxes are also being imposed on SEZs while they are generally tax free zones worldwide. Although the SEZs in India have shown a good revenue growth (USD 66 billion in 2012 –2013; 23% of India’s total exports) and are still in a nascent stage compared with those in China, this is a good time to take alook into the current ground situation.

The Original SEZ Story

In 2005, when the SEZ Act was introduced, it was hailed as a progressive step towards creating infrastructure and employment enclaves that would put the economy on the fast track to growth. In the past seven years, the SEZ performance in India has produced a mixed bag of result. The “China SEZ Model” and its success was considered the benchmark for improving export competitiveness, creating new jobs, increasing GDP and attracting more foreign investment .The idea was also to jump-start the development of secondary cities as engines of growth and employment. This would not only provide for a more inclusive development but also act as a buffer against the increasing pressure of population migration in themetro cities.

The most visible fact is that of the 140 odd SEZs that became operational after the promulgation of the SEZ Act of 2005, nearly 90 were for the IT/ITeS business. This shows that such SEZs were another step in providing incentives to an already growing industry. The number of manufacturing SEZs was much lower and represented a lost opportunity. Also, as many as 33 approved SEZs applied for de-notification between 2008 and 2011 as they faced low demand amidst the economic slowdown of this period.

Present Scenario

There were certain decisions taken that, in hindsight, can be seen to have impacted the SEZ story. The imposition of minimum alternate tax (MAT) and dividend distribution tax (DDT) on SEZ entities has been much debated, since worldwide SEZs are generally tax-free

enclaves. Their imposition was contrary to the initial idea of promoting SEZs, and a positive industrial policy change might have been more helpful. Financial incentives with proactive policy reforms go a long way in promoting new industry initiatives, and one without the other causes below-par results.

In addition, benefits under the reward schemes, plus duty drawbacks on the freight on board (FOB) value of domestic tariff area (DTA) exports far outweigh the attraction of income tax benefits under the SEZ scheme. As a result, there is a lesser possibility of the entrepreneurs opting to set up manufacturing or service units under SEZ.

Pulse •Research Dynamics•2012

The present scenario in the country with the growing services sector contribution to GDP (over 62% in 2012) does argue in favour of promoting IT SEZs. However, the idea behind tax-free enclaves is also to provide a push to domestic industry to improve its export competitiveness. And it can be concluded that this promotion of smaller SEZs compared to China was skewed in favour of plain real estate development rather than creating mega-industrial cities with excellent infrastructure.

The Pathway to an Alternative Future

Recent policy developments, such as the Maharashtra Industrial Policy which allows cancelled SEZs to utilise 40% of their areas for residential and commercial purposes and the remainder for industrial use, look to create integrated industrial estates that may yet offer some hope for the future.

HyderabadLeasing volumes improved in May. Although most of the leasing activities happened in Hitec City, the CBD also witnessed closure of few lease transactions. In addition to this, there was a lease

signed in a SEZ at Shamshabad, which is relatively the least preferred submarket in the city. The key transactions in May were:RealPage and Head Infotech leasing space in HITEC City, Pilog Solutions renting space in Raidurg, InteQ taking space in Begumpet and Infinix Technologies securing space in Shamshabad. There were no new major completions over the month. The fast absorption of Grade A space amidst the less fresh supply has increased the quoted rents of these buildings. However, market average rents andcapital values remained stable over the month.

Over the month, the high streets continued to witness good leasing activity in Hyderabad, with key transactions including Yes Mart and Samsung Plaza leasing space in Attapur, Univercell and Nike renting

space at Karkhana, Mast Kalandar taking space in Himayat Nagarand The Arvind Store securing space on Jubilee Hills Road 36 and Vanasthalipuram. Existing malls are witnessing a small churn of space, keeping vacancy level intact. Rents and capital values remained stable over the month.

Tellapur. Rents and capital values continued to increase marginally across all the submarkets as newly launched residential projects got sold at a price higher than the market average price over the month.

MumbaiOffice demand witnessed signs of improvement in the month of May. In line with the expectations the submarkets such as SBD BKC and Navi Mumbai witnessed healthy transactions activities. Important to

mention, this month recorded robust sale transactions by select pool of occupiers who were keen on taking up space in projects with larger floor plates. Consolidation and relocation of office space emerged out to be the driving force behind the heavy number of transactions. Vacancy rates reduced minimally across select submarkets in the month. Subsequently, Navi Mumbai submarket,which witnessed the transactions with higher floor plates, helpedvacancy rates to fall visibly. Johnson & Johnson leasing space at SBD North and Barclays renting space at Western Suburbs were the notable transactions during May. In addition, DHFL bought space at SBD BKC. Suvidha Square in SBD North submarket got operational in the month. Rents and capital values both remained unaltered during May.

Mumbai's high street retail space especially Bandra linking road saw lukewarm demand helping high street retail to grow during May. However select retailers considered occupying spaces in quality

retail malls. Select foreign brands were seen considering entering into the Mumbai retail market. Major transactions in May included Creative Lifestyle leasing space at Suburbs and Go Fashion taking up space at Vashi. There were no new completions during this month. Rents and capital values both continued to remain stable across the city in May.

The demand for residential sector continued to remain off beat during the month. As a result, few developers came up with attractive offers during the festive season by offering some amount of gold to

the buyers along with the purchase of the flat. Also, developers continued limited period offers such as 20-80 schemes to gain momentum in sales. Treon by Ajmera Group and Desai Classic by Spark Developers both at Wadala and Hubtown Seasons by Hubtown at Chembur were the new launches in May. Rents

continued to remain stable over the month. Capital values in Mumbai remained stable with select precincts such as Wadala, Ghodbunder Road in Thane and Kharghar gaining some appreciation mainly due to the upcoming infrastructure projects.
