Feb 1 (Reuters) - Shares of Indian real estate companies rose on Saturday after the government announced measures to boost the spending power of the middle class in Asia's third-biggest economy, likely spurring investments in the residential housing space.

India's plan to cut income tax rates in the 2025-26 budget was widely welcomed by investors and experts, as it boosts disposable income in a country grappling with sluggish consumption in recent quarters.

The Nifty realty index .NIFTYREAL rose 3.3% and was set for its best day in nearly eight months.

Eight of the ten members in the sub-index were trading higher, with realtors Prestige Estates PREG.NS, DLF DLF.NS and Sobha SOBH.NS climbing between 2% and 6%.

"This move is expected to strengthen demand for affordable housing," said Anuj Puri, chairman of ANAROCK Group.

Middle-class homebuyers, landlords, and investors can now benefit from reduced tax liabilities, better affordability, and fewer compliance hassles, Puri added.

Badal Yagnik, CEO of Colliers India, also echoed the sentiment and said the rationalization of taxes and enhancement of exemption limits can boost disposable income, spurring consumption levels and real estate investments, particularly in residential real estate and alternate financial instruments such as REITs.

The government also made room for homeowners to claim two self-occupied properties as tax-free, as compared to only one earlier, a move likely benefiting residential real estate investment.

This step minimizes tax pressures, promotes homeownership, and facilitates real estate investment, especially in second homes and Tier 2 and 3 cities, Puri said.

Other consumption-linked sectors were also trading higher on the day after the cut to income tax.

Adds analyst comment in paragraph 3

By Hritam Mukherjee

BENGALURU, June 21 (Reuters) - Prestige Estates Projects PREG.NS said on Friday it will raise 50 billion rupees ($598.6 million) by issuing shares to institutional investors.

The Indian real estate developer added its board has approved the monetization of its hospitality assets through a share issue and has formed a sub-committee to oversee the process.

"The monetizing bid largely means that Prestige will seek greater value for its hospitality business and will likely go for an initial public offering," said Karan Khanna, a research analyst at Ambit Capital.

The Bengaluru-based firm has been working on hiving off and listing its hospitality business, which operates 10 hotels in Bengaluru and Kochi, including JW Marriott and Sheraton Grand.

Prestige Estates had flagged the need to raise capital in May.

Sustained travel demand and successful listings of hotel firms, such as Samhi Hotels SAMH.NS and Juniper Hotels JUNI.NS, have inspired investor confidence in the sector, with consumer giant ITC ITC.NS also looking to carve out its hotel business.

Prestige Estates tapped JM Financial, JP Morgan and CLSA as bankers for the listing of its hospitality business, local broadcaster CNBC TV18 had reported earlier this month.

The company's shares closed 1.5% lower on Friday.

Adds CEO comment on deal terms in paragraph 3

By Rama Venkat

BENGALURU, April 1 (Reuters) - India's Prestige Estates Projects PREG.NS said on Monday that it signed a deal worth 20 billion rupees (about $240 million) with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Kotak Alternate Investment Fund to develop residential projects in the country.

The funds will be for projects in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Goa and the National Capital Region, with a combined gross development value of more than 180 billion rupees ($2.16 billion), Prestige said.

"The deal is quasi-equity, which will predominantly have optionally convertible debentures and non-convertible debentures," Venkat K Narayana, CEO of Prestige Group, told Reuters.

The company currently has 41 ongoing and 26 upcoming residential projects.

India's growing economy, favourable policy reforms and infrastructure development have made real estate, especially in the office space, a preferable destination for foreign investment, attracting over $5.8 billion in institutional investments across 53 deals in 2023, per data from real estate management firm JLL.

However, the residential sector is also likely to see strong investment momentum due to an increase in disposable income and the desire for spacious homes, real estate firm Colliers said in a report earlier this year.

"This (deal) will likely open doors for more private deals, which firms may look at other than QIPs (qualified institutional placements)," said Shobhit Agarwal, CEO of the capital markets division of real estate consultancy ANAROCK Group.

Last year, real estate developer Embassy Group had raised 12.50 billion rupees from Bain Capital, while Valor Estate DBRL.NS, formerly known as D B Realty, raised 9.20 billion rupees from investors including Morgan Stanley and BNP Paribas in March.

Prestige operates in over 12 major locations in India, with about half of its portfolio of completed projects being residential and around 42% commercial.

The company's shares settled 8.3% higher on Monday.

BENGALURU, Feb 6 (Reuters) - India's Godrej Properties GODR.NS reported a 6% increase in third-quarter profit on Tuesday, led by the strong demand for residential homes.

The Godrej Group company's consolidated net profit was 622.7 million rupees ($7.5 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with 587.4 million rupees a year earlier.

Revenue from operations more than doubled to 3.3 billion rupees, with bookings increasing proportionately to 57.2 billion rupees.

For further highlights, click (Full story)

KEY CONTEXT

Residential real estate has seen a boom in some parts of India such as Delhi-NCR, led by increased demand from more affluent Indians investing in premium housing.

Godrej Properties primarily operates in residential apartments, which constitutes its largest revenue source, premium houses and commercial spaces. Delhi-NCR serves as its largest sales contributor.

Rival DLF, which operates primarily in Delhi-NCR, has also reported a jump in third-quarter profit. However, Oberoi Realty's profit nearly halved, hurt by sluggish sales in Mumbai.
