Press Release Body: Jaipur is both a heritage and a hi-tech city. Touted as an
alternate addition to Gurgaon, Jaipur\'s real estate market is attracting both
investors and end users.

Majority of the buyers are middle to upper middle classes and 60% of the total
demand is for middle budget homes. In the last three years, the residential values
have escalated by three times. Today, a 3BHK is not available for less than Rs 45
lakhs; even on the outskirts the flats cost Rs 20 lakhs.

A significant trend in Jaipur\'s residential property market is that people are
moving from villas to apartments, primarily because of safety and security.

ML Gupta, Additional Director Revenue & Property Disposal, Jaipur Development
Authority says, \"Two to three years back, there was a thrust on plotted development
but now there is a craze for apartments. Nevertheless Jaipur still abounds in
plotted development and there is availability of land.\"

Township Projects

Jaipur is witnessing a host of integrated township projects on the peripheries both
by local as well as metropolitan city developers like Narayan group, Narvik Nirman,
Omaxe, Suncity, DLF, MGF, Vatika, Ansals, Parsvnath, etc. The average unit cost is
between Rs 1,500-1700/sq ft as compared to Rs 3,500-4,500 in the city.

The Unique group launched a township at Ajmer road, with 3500 units including Studio
apartments (8 lakhs), 2 BHK (15 lakhs) and 3BHK (18 lakhs). Narvik Nirman launched,
Pearl Springs with 2BHK (1040 sq ft) for Rs 16 lakhs and 3BHK (1450 sq ft) for Rs
20-22 lakhs.

Future Outlook

With rising costs of land in Jaipur, the focus has shifted to the peripheral areas.
But this is only true for real estate developers so far and not the end user.

According to Vivek Jain of Narvik Nirman, \"The end user is still not there in these
real estate projects in Jaipur. Developer after developer has been launching
township projects but it is mainly the investor who is making speculative
investments rather than the end user.\"

Peripheral areas lack connectivity and basic infrastructure facilities. For the
middle income group, selecting between city and periphery is like choosing between
devil and the deep sea. The upper income group can afford a car and travel long
distances and commute to the office but for the middle income group, there is a
hardly a choice.
