Deloitte may sign up 1.4 million sq ft of office space in Hyderabad
Source: Economic Times Sep 18, 2014.
While Tata Consultancy Services recently took up just under a million sq ft of space split between Noida and Gurgaon in the National Capital Region, Flipkart is looking to set up a new 1.5 million sq ft campus in Bangalore keeping in view the tremendous pace at which the e-commerce sector has been growing-."This signals revival in growth prospects for business. Many of these companies now have visibility about new business coming in," said Anckur Srivasttava, chairman of GenReal Property Advisers. Until a few months ago, many companies were still not too sure about growth.
Political uncertainty added to this. With a strong government at the centre and some new policy measures, companies have felt emboldened to go ahead with their plans.
Others looking to lease office space include management consulting firm Accenture, which is scouting for a million sq ft of office space in Bangalore. American financial services firm Wells Fargo is looking to lease 1.2 million sq ft in the city. One million sq ft of office space seats more than 10,000 people.
Juggy Marwaha, managing director, south, for Jones Lang LaSalle, which has the mandate to hunt for space for Flipkart and several other companies, said Bangalore will come back to peak 2007 levels of office space absorption—between 8 and 9 million sq ft this year. A spokesman for Accenture said: "We regularly evaluate our real estate portfolio on an ongoing basis to meet our business requirements and align our office space requirements accordingly."
A spokeswoman for Deloitte said the company will not be able to comment due to its internal compliance and regulatory policies. Flipkart declined to comment. Aveek Mukherjee, managing director, Wells Fargo India Solutions said: "We are currently conducting a proactive exercise to understand our potential real estate options in the city. We are yet to finalise on any property or expansion at this time."
Many of these firms are looking at built-to-suit facilities that will be set up over the next 24 months or so by which time they expect the economy to also scale up. This is also an opportunity for many corporates to lock in real estate when rentals are low. "Everyone is now anticipating that supply in relevant areas will get constrained, so rentals will rise," said Anshul Jain, country chief executive at real estate consultancy DTZ. "There is also a pickup in demand because of positive economic indicators."

Wi-Fi not to be free for all in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Hyderabad may soon become a Wi-Fi city, but the service is not going to be free for all, as that may put a heavy burden on the server infrastructure and may even spark security concerns. The information technology department of the Telangana State government is working towards developing a model to have a mix of free and paid Wi-Fi access, said IT and panchayat raj minister K.T. Rama Rao.
“We are trying to have a level playing field for the service providers and ensure that all the service providers participate. Wi-Fi will be available everywhere in Hyderabad. However, if we make it free for everybody, it will result in a huge burden on the network. Therefore, Wi-Fi access will have to be a mix of free and paid. We are also exploring new technologies like ‘White-Fi’, which is an evolving technology,” he said. Discussing security issues, the minister said an R&D meeting will be held soon to resolve all such concerns.
Meanwhile, the crucial Information Technology Investment Region project, which was approved by the UPA government at the Centre, has seen no progress. The minister plans to take up the matter with the Union minister for IT when he meets him on September 15.
Mr Rao said, “The Government of India has announced the ITIR project for Hyderabad. I have already sought an appointment with the Union minister for IT. The first phase of the ITIR project will be completed in the next five years, but it might take time to evolve and reach the state of generating 15 lakh employment, as predicted by NASSCOM.”
KCR promises to make Hyderabad most happening city
Hyderabad: Promising to turn Hyderabad into the most happening city in the country, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao Friday announced that 1,000 km long world-class roads will be laid in the city at a cost of Rs 10,000 crore.
Announcing series of measures to develop the city and ease congestion, he said an east-west road corridor with four lanes would be developed between Vanasthalipuram and Ramachandrapuram. "Similarly a corridor will be developed between north and south," he said.
KCR, as the chief minister is popularly known, was speaking at the inauguration of Hyderabad property show organized by Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Association of India (CREDAI) here.
He announced restoration of rain water drains by removing the encroachments to permanently solve the problem of flooding of roads and residential colonies during rainy season.
He said four lakh LED lights would replace the existing street lights in the city.
The chief minister said another outer ring road would be developed with satellite townships and specialized clusters like pharma city, sports city, health city and cinema city.
KCR, who visited Singapore and Malaysia last week, said global consultants would be hired to prepare a new master plan for Hyderabad keeping in view its requirements especially with the development of Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR).
The chief minister vowed to make Hyderabad the best place for the industry with single window clearance system, which he said would be zero-graft and the best in the world.
Stating that Hyderabad has many advantages, KCR said he had no doubt that it would soon grow faster than any other city in the country.
The chief minister also promised to bring a single window system to give all clearances for real estate projects. "We will introduce a bill in the next session of the Assembly," he added.
