Genpact IPO – The India Street Analysis

Introduction:

By F. Colton

I have recently read about a few laws the India Government has passed to slow the real estate market in India. The false claim that too many foreign real estate funds are driving up real estate values is complete rubbish. First and most importantly, I can count on two hands the number of foreign real estate funds that have actually invested money on a real estate project in India. It's just not happening like the media claims. Foreign Real Estate funds find the India market appealing, but it still lacks the transparency available in other more mature markets.

New Delhi, India: Nearly two dozen US funds are raising $3.5 billion for investments in Indian realty. This is over and above the $2.5 billion invested by overseas realty funds in India to date. Those raising the money include Wall Street powerhouses such as Blackstone Group ( $1 billion) Goldman Sachs ($1 billion), Citigroup Property Investors ($125 million), Morgan Stanley ($70 million) and GE Commercial Finance Real Estate ($63 million).

Washington: The US-India Business Council (USIBC) has asked 22 Washington-based professional lobbying firms specialising in US-India trade to develop a "roadmap" for trade and investment in India.
