Raheja has a huge land bank in Sohna & have plans to develop Raheja City there. Big name & good builder reputation but I have my doubts on Sohna as a region…I have visited the place many a times to that part while visiting Roz Ka Meo (not exactly sure of the location of these plots though)….pretty nefarious & dreaded area as a belt. Plus why would one go 25Km to-wards Sohna from Rajeev Chowk when you go less than 20 km on NH1 (for Vatika plots in 82) if investment in plots was the only consideration….Plus covering 25km on NH1 is no comparison to traveling 25km toward Sohna..road conditions are pathetic. Yes I know, Vatika is more expensive but at least you are on the National Highway with excellent approach even now compared to this god forsaken place on a State Highway…good for only some weekend trip to Damdama lake for an outing with kids (that too, only during daytime strictly). One may prefer booking plots in Jindal global City or Express City Plots (reday for possession in 5 months) at Sector 35 Sonepat (on KMP & 4 km from NH at less than this ticket price if plots was the consideration in this ticket size….that area has a huge potential for growth.

I am sure though that many would buy this too as anything & everything sells in RE esp. if its by reputed builders.

Shilas, India bulls Centrum Park and Ramprastha Edge tower come to mind.

Does anybody have news on when this construction will start and when it is likely to finish? Has the contract been awarded and whom to? Date of completion and start of operation will be vital news for evaluating the pricing of flats sold in this corrridor.

Last I heard was that a few houses in Palam Vihar were slated for demolition for this expressway in May June 09 or thereabouts.

. the Fore most question —- Are we all sure whether this craze for infrastructure development in NCR would still contiune after the CWG 2010 .

This is the time taken for any Express Highway project per the latest from NHAI

2. 48 month is the time frame for the completion of the project from the date of award of Contract .Add a delay for 6 to 18 month in this .
3. Bidding and Contract awarding takes nearly 6-12 month after the land acquistion has been completed by the Development authoritiese .

The move comes as investment banks around the world are laying off thousands of staff as volatile financial markets and heightened regulatory scrutiny pressure earnings. Morgan Stanley reported in October an increase in third-quarter net profit, but investment banking revenue fell 14% from a year earlier to $864 million, as underwriting activity slowed with volatility in the markets.

Morgan Stanley is redeploying certain Singapore-based roles supporting its finance and operations divisions, including shifting product control jobs to India, and some management-reporting roles to Hungary, the people said. The move is part of the firm’s strategy to raise business efficiencies and cut costs, they said.

These positions provide support for Morgan Stanley’s global businesses, and the move doesn’t affect the bank’s front-office operations made up of investment bankers and private bankers, the people said. The transition is underway and will be completed by the middle of 2012.

“Singapore is getting more expensive partly due to a stronger currency. It’s getting close to Hong Kong in terms of costs, so it doesn’t make sense to keep those functions here,” one of the people said.

Hong Kong is Morgan Stanley’s regional headquarters in the Asia Pacific region.

Morgan Stanley said “the firm is in the process of redeploying a number of Singapore-based infrastructure roles to alternate global locations as part of the firm’s continual process to optimize business and location efficiencies.”

The move comes after Citigroup Inc. said this month it will eliminate roughly 4,500 jobs over the next few quarters, or about 1.6% of its work force, while Japan-based Nomura Holdings Inc. tripled its annual cost-cutting target to $1.2 billion, with most of the new reductions centered in Europe. Credit Suisse Group said it will slash 1,500 positions in its second round of staff reductions in four months.

In Singapore, Citigroup has cut just under 40 people from its headcount over the past few weeks across its markets, investment banking and private banking businesses, a person familiar with the situation said.

The Morgan Stanley fund will invest
in the unlisted Indian firm’s project in the western suburbs of Mumbai, said the sources, who declined to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media.

Morgan Stanley declined to comment and Sheth Developers did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Sheth Developers acquired an 18-acre land parcel in Andheri from Borosil Glass Works in 2010 for about 8.75 billion rupees ($165 million) and plans to develop a large residential project there, said the sources.

If completed, the investment would be the first in India by the Morgan Stanley fund in three years, two of the sources said. The fund has invested about $750 million so far in India.

In October, sources told Reuters that a bunch of investors including a fund managed by Morgan Stanley and the Government of Singapore Investment Corp are in separate talks to buy a Mumbai property from Indian textiles firm Alok Industries for about $200 million.

Last month, the Wall Street bank named Shirish Godbole as the head of its global real estate investment fund in India.

Indian developers have come under pressure over the past year as rising interest rates deter residential buyers and funding for builders becomes scarce as economic growth slows.

Private equity investment in Indian real estate was marginally down in the first nine months of 2011 to about $784 million, from $817 million at the same time last year, according to data from industry tracker VCCircle.com.
