Realty Index Crashes with Dalal Street

As the Bears hug the Indian Stock Markets, taking the BSE Sensex down 549.27 points, or 3.48%, to 15,227.04, BSE Real Estate Index crashed too.

All the 11 stocks in the BSE Realty index were trading in the red, including sector heavyweight DLF. DLF was down 4.39% to Rs 605. The stock had plunged to a low of Rs 578 earlier in the day.

The other major losers were Unitech (down 5.32% to Rs 562), Indiabulls Real Estate (down 5.49% to Rs 565), Parsvnath Developers l (down 5.17% to Rs 367), Mahindra Gesco Developers (down 3.02% to Rs 577), and Ansal Properties & Infrastructure (down 4.62% to Rs 267.40).

In the Realty index, DLF holds the major weightage of 35.16%, followed by Unitech (31.65%) and IndiaBulls Real Estate (16.49%). All other scrips hold weightages between 1% to 3% in the index.

It is time to exit DLF, Unitech and India Bulls Real Estate because all of them are extremely speculative and are quoting at absur valuations of more than 60 forward P/Es.

SPACs - Enron Like Companies

Deepak Parekh, Chairman HDFC and IDFC group, has expressed concerns about companies raising hundrerds Millions of Dollars abroad using Special Purpose Vehicles and Special Purpose Acquisition Companies without any business plan or core strategy.

Mr. Parekh said,
They are essentially blank-cheque firms which do not have a strategy or a business plan... There are at least ten India-dedicated SPACs that have raised between $350 and 500 million and are now on the prowl to acquire Indian companies. This is just the beginning of sophisticated investment vehicles but investors must realise that the India party with extraordinarily high returns cannot go on forever. It is easier to raise money because of global liquidity and besides, the returns are as high as 40%. But how long will it last?
Most of the shady companies raising through this means are in the Real Estate Business in India. If you haven't seen the movie, Enron, then you must check it out because it was the biggest corporate bankruptcy in the US.

Prime Minister admits Mistakes in SEZ

Prime Minister of India , Dr. Manmohan Singh today admitted about the mistakes in SEZ policy. Indian SEZ policy is the largest REal Estate Scam in the world. Dr. Singh said,
There are some cases of mistakes. People have been dispossessed. No developed country can do without industry.
This means that Dr. Singh is morally accepting his guilt for hundreds of deaths in Nandigram, West Bengal. It was a state sponsored Terrori*sm. You can check out all the uncensored videos on YouTube. I wonder if we are in a Democracy.

Bangalore - Nandagudi SEZ - Politicians are Land Grabbers

The H D Devegowda family is grabbing land as if their is no tomorrow. They have sanctioned a controversial SEZ at Nandagudi, Hobli in Hoskote Taluk, 50 Km from Bangalore. Here is what is happening.

D K Shivakumar - H D Deve Gowda and Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy are planning to acquire 80,000 acres of land in the State in the name of SEZ, townships, etc.

A Krishnappa - H D Deve Gowda family will get kickbacks of Rs 20,000 crore from various SEZ dealings.

H D Kumarswamy's Defence - All the Congress leaders [D K Shivkumar, A Krishnappa, M Kharge, Dharam Singh, H K Patil, etc ] have acquired 25,000 to 30,000 acres in Sathnur and Varthur assembly constituencies in the name of development, are now championing the cause of farmers. They are like wolves guarding a flock of sheep.

Kumarswamy continued his attack.... My government need not learn from Congress leaders, whose party government acquired vast tracts of land for Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor project and transferred it at throwaway prices to Nandi Infrastructure.

Income Tax Authorities Raid Realtors in Bangalore. At least Rs 100 crore cash is being confiscated from Realtors close to Gowda family. The amount could be much more :-)

Our Views: All the allegations are True. Both the Congress leaders and Gowda family members are interested in their own welfare and Bangalore is being turned from IT Capital to Dirty and Polluted Capital of the world.
