Chennai leads in project completion


In a market where execution risks are a prime focal point, the Southern markets – Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad – have been remarkably resilient. The latest ANAROCK research reveals that out of the total new housing unit launches in top cities between 2013 till Q3 2020, Chennai has the highest share of ready/completed homes at 61 per cent of its total inventory, followed by Bengaluru with 48 pc and Hyderabad at 44 pc.
Chennai saw new launches of over 1.32 lakh units between 2013 and Q3 2020, of which 61 pc is already completed. In stark contrast, NCR saw over 5.54 lakh units of new supply launched in this period, of which just 26 pc units are completed.

Altogether 23 lakh units were launched between 2013 and Q3 2020 across the top seven cities, of which 34 pc (approx. 7.92 lakh units) is completed. Another 19 pc is scheduled to complete within the next 12 months, and another 19 pc between one to two years.
Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Property Consultants says, “Predominantly driven by end-users from the IT/ITeS sector, the conservative housing markets of the Southern cities also benefit from the proactive project completion focus of developers active there.”
Out of all the projects launched and completed between 2013-till date, the average time to complete projects in Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad is between 4.1 – 4.3 years for smaller projects (with 100-500 units each) and between 5.5 – 5.9 years for large projects (>500 units each). This is significantly less than the average completion time in NCR, where it is 6 years and 7.2 years, respectively.
