What makes Morbi in Gujarat the undisputed hub of India’s ceramic production? Morbi in Gujarat is the ceramic hub of India churning out more than 70% of India’s total ceramic production!! Morbi is a district in the Saurashtra region of the vibrant state of Gujarat. The place is undeniably the one-stop-destination for all your flooring and bathroom needs. Many builders visit Morbi to purchase premium quality ceramics and pass on the cost-saving benefits to the customers, along with International standards of products with impeccable designs. Globally ceramics industry has evolved in clusters depending on the availability of raw material, markets, transportation/ports, labor, technological know-how, logistics, etc. While such ceramic clusters initially developed in countries like Spain and Italy, the model was replicated in Morbi, Gujarat. The conditions, factors, and reasons in Morbi were compelling and conducive to put it on the World map as a ceramics hub. Some interesting facts about Morbi The place came to be referred as Morbi cluster, and accounts for more than 70% of India’s total production! Spread over 10km stretch on Morbi-Dhuva highway, Gujarat, Morbi happens to be the second largest ceramics cluster in the world Location of Morbi is ideally suited for the ceramic business to flourish. Few factors that contribute to the growth of Morbi are: Airport at Rajkot, barely 67 Km away from Morbi Easy reach via railways from Ahmedabad Easy approach via Road at a short distance of 184 Kms from Ahmedabad Major ports of Kandla and Mundra Abundance availability of raw material- local clay that’s extremely suitable for ceramics; quartz, calcite, woolastonite, frits and glazes in Gujarat as well as Rajasthan Cheap labour Patel community and their entrepreneurial nature has been instrumental in Morbi being crowned as the King of Ceramics hub in India Patels own tile manufacturing factories, and are a well-knit social group. They co-own multiple factories. This has resulted in cost-economies due to cross-utilization and sharing of operations and strategic resources Morbi rose to being a ceramic cluster over the last four decades. The place was already a vibrant building products manufacturing hub, so the transition was seamless History behind the rise of Morbi as a Ceramic hub While Morbi was famous for roof tiles- ‘Naliya’, in the mid-80s, local entrepreneurs began importing machines discarded by ceramic clusters in Italy and Spain While a 55% duty on import of capital goods was prevalent in the 1980’s, Small and Medium Enterprises were exempt up to the limit of Rs 1 crore. This led to the entrepreneurs installing ceramic tile machines Now Morbi has switch over to vitrified tiles as well as bathroom accessories and fitting made out of ceramics Technical understanding on ceramic manufacturing has been immensely high. Equipment like kiln, polishing machine etc were bought from Italy (Sacmi) and China (Modena) To remain abreast of the technological advancements, entrepreneurs began frequently visiting international ceramic fairs and ceramic process equipment suppliers. This kept them informed and on top of their game You can see offices and representatives from globally renowned Italian & Spanish tiles machinery manufacturers and design studios who provide technical assistance and training to tiles manufacturing companies Morbi today is an important outsourcing hub of tiles. Big brands like like Prism Johnson, Kajaria Ceramics, Somany Ceramics outsource their order-fulfilment to manufacturers at Morbi Major brands in ceramics have also invested in the companies at Morbi, where they outsource their requirements as well Some companies have even gone for joint ventures. Others are sourcing from them on contract basis One of the important events that went in favor of Morbi was the Vibrant Ceramic Expo held in 2016 and 2017. More than 5,000 customers and builders across India have been visiting Morbi every month for the premium quality of ceramic products in the offering at a very competitive price. The lower cost of production because of the easy availability of raw material required for manufacturing ceramic products has been the hallmark of the competitive advantage enjoyed by Morbi. Raw materials account for 50% of the cost of ceramic products, with manufacturing plants closer to the source of raw materials (China clay, that’s bulky), the freight cost is minimized. Subsidies given by Gujarat State Govt., the price of gas and other items are also lower. These cost-saves further result in manufacturers producing premium quality ceramic products, and the cost-saves are passed on to consumers. Owing to the high and International quality standards, Morbi manufacturers are able to export ceramics outside of India. With over, 800 manufacturers in the cluster, the number is only expected to further grow in the years ahead! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Buying a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad?

With apartment admeasuring over 2000 sft, it would easily go up to Rs 1.5 crore…since the cost of land in Sainikpuri contributes to a significant chunk of Rs 1 crore plus residence As these independent-floor apartments stand-out in exclusivity and luxury, they qualify to be worth more than Rs 1 crore in price in a beautiful locality like Sainikpuri 2. Sainikpuri emerging as a posh locality with increasing land prices Sainikpuri, located in the North-Eastern part of Hyderabad is increasingly becoming a preferred destination for home buyers Consequently, the land prices of Sainikpuri are touching Rs 50,000 per square yard While this is still quite reasonable as compared to the Western Hyderabad (IT corridor), the increase in prices is bound to happen in Sainikpuri area Sainikpuri is fast becoming scare in available land-parcels In the years ahead, the number of 3 BHK spacious homes costing over Rs 1 crore will be much more in the offering Plus, the demand of home buyers in this scenic locality is only going to further increase in the coming years 3.

We targeted speaking with people who could comfortably stretch up to a budget of Rs 1.5 crore to buy an ‘independent floor’. The objective was to find out what motivates this segment of home buyers who are willing to spend more and yet did NOT want to go for a regular cluster-apartment format. By cluster-apartment format, we mean apartments where you have 2, 3, or more units on a single floor. Simply put, you have many neighbors on the floor you live in. However, the ‘independent floor units’ are big apartments where you OWN THE ENTIRE FLOOR, and you have NO neighbors on the same floor. During our interaction, we realized that post-COVID, many home buyers with a budget of up to Rs 1.5 crore were considering OWNING A BIGGER HOME upwards of 2200 square feet. Plus, these home buyers want a low-population density locality. Those who could afford a Rs 1.5 crore residence wanted something more! For instance, in Yapral, Sainikpuri locality, you find many such ‘independent floor’ spacious as well as luxurious 3BHK options (upwards of 2200 sft) within a very reasonable price range of Rs 1.5 crore.

Ramesh, IT industry, Age: 37years “We are currently living in Kukatpally in a rented 3 BHK independent house. With work from home, we now want to have a house that gives me utmost privacy. With my wife and two children, it is becoming difficult to be inside the house throughout the day. After lockdown, we realized that children have to study from home. Both my wife and I work from home. So, the ‘independent floor’ option works for us if we were to buy a home. We can get an apartment which is big, and also has lots of privacy. Unnecessary contact with the world can be cut down completely! With this background, we are looking at: This interview alone gives us a clear picture of the changing needs of homebuyers who seek a sense of spaciousness, greater social connect, a superior lifestyle quotient, and discernible luxury for their family!

Residential real estate ‘demand’ & ‘quality of life’ in Hyderabad on the upswing- a perspective for 3BHK home-buyers in Hyderabad
Residential real estate ‘demand’ & ‘quality of life’ in Hyderabad on the upswing- a perspective for 3BHK home-buyers in Hyderabad As per a report published by Knight Frank property consultants, based on studies conducted in 8 major cities in India- there has been more than 90% growth in the residential home demand in Q3 of 2021 (July, August, September) all over India, compared to the same time in the previous year. Hyderabad is no exception to this positive surge in demand of homes! In Hyderabad, the residential unit sales in July, August, September 2021, according to the report, has gone over THREE times what it was the year before (2020). The sale of gated community apartment numbers in Hyderabad stood at 6000 residential units in the Q3 of 2021. The numbers could be much more than these if we were to include the ‘standalone building’ segment of residential apartments (5-storey apartments built on small-sized plots in Hyderabad- as per GHMC norms). Consequently, Q4 of 2021- October, November, and December 2021 looks very promising for home-buyers in Hyderabad. With vaccinations at their peak in Telangana, the overall homebuyer sentiment is upbeat. Reasons for Hyderabad residential markets looking upbeat Some of the reasons why Hyderabad real estate will continue to thrive are: The likelihood of a complete lockdown is very low in the current situation with COVID vaccinations happening at a terrific speed in Telangana The prices of Hyderabad real estate for the middle and upper-middle class segment range between Rs 4000 to Rs 7500 per sft. This is very reasonable as compared to other cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, or the National Capital Region Another reason is the preference for upgrading to LARGER and BIGGER SPACES for family purposes. The home buyer segment is looking at 3BHK segment far more favourably. He home buyers are preferring better quality inside the house, and seeking amenities that are relevant. This has further boosted demand, and builders are designing post=pandemic, more efficient and better designed homes to cater to needs like work-from-home, study-from-home, entertainment-at-home and fitness-at-home SPACES The demand for ‘exclusive’ low-density spaces has gone up in Hyderabad, with preference being given to 3BHK apartments in: Regular apartments in cluster-formation (where you have 2, 3, 4 or more apartments on a single floor), and ‘One apartment per floor’ residences being offered in apartment format, where the buyer owns the entire floor to themselves. These units are more premium, because they are built on smaller plots (400 to 700 square yards), and have all the latest amenities including elevator access and gen-set provision Another reason is the ‘work from home’ culture, and the corporate structure preferring to allow employees to work from home. This allows better designs which support the function Plus, the home buyers are now willing to move away from job hubs like Gachiblowli to places like Kompally, Tarnaka, Alwal, Sainikpuri and Yapral Preference for cleaner and greener locations is even more. This is where locations like Sainikpuri and Yapral score high. In these localities, the extent of green cover is remarkably high. The greenery and fresh air-supply will continue to remain this way due to the presence of Armed Forces installations with bountiful of trees The inventory overhang in Hyderabad is the lowest in the country. Overhang is about the ‘time required to sell unsold inventory of homes’. For Hyderabad this was just 25 months as of Quarter 1 of 2021. This means the unsold property with the builders is the lowest, and there is scope for new projects to come-up. The demand and supply is well balanced The builders in Hyderabad are responding to home buyer needs. This is happening on both budget, and preferences on better spaces (SPACIOUSNESS). As of Q1 of 2021, nearly 50% of residential units are priced at over 75 lakh range, which means more of 3BHK, spacious units About 40% of residential units are in the Rs 40 lakh to 75 lakh range The pro-business state policies, and dependency on tertiary sector (services like IT enabled services, IT etc.) for employment will only make sure that the demand for residential sector goes-up Hyderabad happens to be the only city in India to record quarterly sales of residential units going-up. Plus, the prices of property have appreciated by 5% all around All these are positive indicators for the residential real estate markets in Hyderabad. The quality of living Hyderabad offers is remarkable. This is why the city is on the growth path to being the top residential market, with consistently rising demand from discerning home buyers. These indicators also point towards being a preferred market for the investors, NRIs, and Non-local Indians, who love to call Hyderabad their home. The quality of life and social infrastructure that the city of Hyderabad offers remains unspeakably beautiful, dependable, and enjoyable!

Can an apartment really give the ‘feel of an independent bungalow’ to the buyer of a 3BHK flat in Hyderabad?
Can an apartment really give the ‘feel of an independent bungalow’ to the buyer of a 3BHK flat in Hyderabad? The answer to this question is YES! But, not with cluster-living apartments where you have 2, 3, or more apartments on the same floor plate. This feel of an ‘independent home’ is possible only with ‘one apartment per floor’! Fortunately, in Hyderabad, we have many builders who take up plot sizes between 400 square yards to 700 square yards to craft stunning villa-like spacious apartments on these small residential plots. These feel like a villa since you OWN THE ENTIRE floor! These exclusive, independent floors usually come in 5 storeys, 5 homes format in a standalone building. The ground floor of these buildings is being reserved for parking. Besides this, these ‘exclusive independent floors’ are decidedly more expensive as compared to regular apartments owing to the luxury element viz. high-end elevator-access (lifts), plus, the high-end specifications of everything that goes into the making of the building. Clearly, the home buyer of this ‘independent floor’ segment pays more than the ‘regular apartment buyers’. These discerning customers aspire for luxury to ooze out of every element of their exclusive home like elevators, flooring, finishing, doors, windows, kitchen top, fixtures, accessories, electricals, plumbing, etc. 5 reasons why ‘one apartment per floor’ residences give an ‘independent-villa’ feel are- 1. Four sides open to sky These homes are open from all four sides, with doors and windows all around, so unlike regular apartments, you get to enjoy the natural light and good ventilation from all directions- akin to ‘independent bungalows/villas’ When you peep out of the window of your ‘independent floor’, you get to see low-rise buildings around you, just like the view you get from an independent bungalow 2. No neighbours around you on the same floor to intrude into your privacy You have complete and uninterrupted privacy on ‘your floor’ No disturbance since you can live unseen and unrestricted by neighbours Freedom to move around you corridor As soon as you exit out of the lift, you are on your private land of tranquillity even while you are strolling in your own corridor 3. Big homes upwards of 2200 sft in green environs of well-established colonies Just like independent bungalows, these homes are much bigger and spacious inviting an air of breeziness For instance, in colonies like Sainikpuri, these homes are available in 2300 sft and upwards, surrounded with a luscious green tree-cover all around the colonies 4. Car-parking within you own compound wall, and clear elevator-access to your own floor You get to park your car within your own compound (in the ground floor) just like an independent home The moment you get out of the car, you get to the elevator that takes you straight to you private floor with lesser visitor population to encounter This is a great feeling, especially, when you are entertaining guests or family in your own private haven 5. 100% Vastu compliance possible with all four sides open Unlike regular apartments which are surrounded by neighbours or adjoining towers, ‘Vastu compliance’ is possible because the four sides are ‘open to sky’ with ‘no common-walls or obstructions’ As a result, Vastu can actually apply in these ‘independent homes’ All these elements make the ‘one apartment per floor’ homes stand out in the crowd of apartments! This is something that’s just NOT possible with regular apartments built in a cluster-living configuration. Choosing to live in an ‘independent floor’ residence is the closest you can get to living in an independent home. In fact, these ‘exclusive residences’ strike the perfect balance to get you the advantages of both an ‘independent home’, and the ‘goodness of an apartment’. With the ‘entire floor to yourself’, you get the best of both worlds! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about ‘Regular 3BHK flats’ Vs. ‘One apartment per floor’ 3BHK units in standalone buildings… Click here
