Debt recovery in stressed realty projects to rise 16 pc in 2025-26: Report
For Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs), the cumulative recovery rate of Security Receipts (SRs) issued towards stressed real estate projects will increase by 16 percentage points to 38 per cent during the current financial year, according to a Crisil Ratings report released on Monday. The improvement will ride on robust sales of new units in these projects, backed by steady demand in the residential real estate sector, on the back of strategic debt restructuring facilitated by the ARCs, the report states. The Crisil report is based on an analysis of 70 stressed real estate projects located in NCR, MMR3 and Bengaluru's micro-markets, with SRs issued worth around Rs 10,800 crore. Majority of these projects were trapped in a spiralling debt cycle due to falling sales, slow collections and lack of funds to complete construction — most of which are addressed today. Increase in real estate prices and rising demand in the above micro-markets post-pandemic resulting in ramping up of sales have turned these projects viable for funding by external investors, the report further states. Demand is expected to grow by 7-9 per cent in 2025-2026 for residential real estate in the three micro-markets mentioned above and will support the sales for these stressed projects as well. About two-thirds of the rated projects are in the mid-premium segment and above, which are expected to contribute up to 80 per cent of recovery for ARCs driven by stable demand in fiscal 2026. The remaining projects are in the affordable segment which is likely to see modest demand and will contribute lower to recoveries this fiscal, the report said. According to the report, restructuring of debt has emerged as the preferred resolution strategy for stressed real estate projects for two reasons. One, ARCs can bring down the debt to sustainable levels with an initial moratorium on payments, allowing developers to redirect project cash flow towards construction of units in these projects. Two, restructuring is also favoured by ARCs due to inherent issues in the real estate sector such as two-fold ownership of land and development rights, multiple Special Purpose Vehicle structures with cross-collateralisation and several layers of approval from state authorities. While restructuring ensures promoters have skin in the game and resolutions are faster, the aforementioned issues make other strategies such as the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), enforcement and liquidation more time-consuming and thus leading to lower recovery. About 40 per cent of the stressed real estate projects in the Crisil Ratings SR portfolio have undergone restructuring as the primary mode of resolution, resulting in expected nominal recoveries of up to the full principal amount of debt acquired over an 8-year trust life, the report added.

India emerging as key destination, amid supply chain shift of global electronic sector: Report
India is expected to witness strong and exponential growth in the electronics manufacturing sector amid the ongoing global supply chain realignment in the electronics sector, according to a new report by PwC . The report pointed out that the electronics industry is experiencing a shift in the global supply chain, with India emerging as a key destination. This shift has already led to significant growth in the production of items like smartphones and other electronic products. It said "India aims to reach USD 500 Bn of domestic prediction - the nation may reach USD 282 Bn conservatively by 2030". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invest today with in Shriram's ULIP Shriram Life Insurance Undo The report outlined three possible growth scenarios for the sector, conservative, moderate, and ambitious. Even if India grows conservatively, India's domestic electronics production could reach USD 282 billion by 2030. Live Events A moderate growth path projects this figure at USD 418 billion, while the ambitious scenario, aligned with the target set by NITI Aayog , estimates the production could hit USD 500 billion, provided there is aggressive policy support by the government and continuous investments. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories The report mentioned that while mobile phones, semiconductors, and consumer electronics are expected to lead the way, it also cautioned that other segments may grow at a slower pace due to limited capital expenditure. This could slightly restrict the overall speed of development. Several factors are expected to fuel growth in the sector. India is currently the second-largest smartphone market in the world. The mobile and wearables segment alone is projected to grow to USD 159 billion by FY2030. In Information Technology, the report stated that the electronics market is expected to touch USD 32 billion by the same period. The rising demand for data servers, likely to increase tenfold, will also contribute to the surge in domestic production. The telecom sector is witnessing rapid change as well. In the last five years, data traffic has grown 60 times, and by 2026, more than 65 per cent of total data revenue is expected to come from 5G services. This trend will further boost the need for telecom-related electronics and infrastructure. The industrial electronics segment is also evolving with emerging sectors like EV chargers and smart industrial automation becoming important growth drivers. Overall, the PwC report indicated that India's electronics manufacturing industry is on track for strong expansion. Achieving the upper end of the projected growth will depend on continued policy support, infrastructure development, and targeted investments in high-growth areas.

Delayed again, why the ambitious Gorakhpur nuclear plant project in Haryana is yet to gather speed
Khattar told mediapersons Saturday that the 2,800-MW plant, comprising four 700-MW units, will be rolled out in two phases: 1,400 MW by 2031, and the remaining 1,400 MW by 2032. He attributed the delays to the sandy terrain and technical complexities, adding that nuclear power plants typically require 13 years to complete. This revised timeline marks a significant delay from the original target of 2020-21 and the more recent projection of 2028, highlighting the challenges plaguing this ambitious project. Gurugram: The completion of northern India and Haryana's first nuclear power plant, the Gorakhpur Haryana Anu Vidyut Pariyojana (GHAVP), has been pushed back again, with Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announcing that the first two of its four 700 megawatt units will now commence operations only in 2031. The announcement came during a visit by Khattar and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini to GHAVP, a flagship project of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited, in Fatehabad district's Gorakhpur Saturday. 'Today in Fatehabad, Haryana, along with Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @NayabSainiBJP, I reviewed the progress of North India's first nuclear power plant — the Gorakhpur Haryana Anu Vidyut Pariyojana (GHAVP),' Khattar posted on X following a meeting with senior NPCIL officials and a tour of the site. 'This ambitious project will not only meet the long-term energy needs of Haryana and North India, but will also strengthen India's commitment to clean and sustainable energy solutions,' he added, underscoring its alignment with India's net-zero emissions target by 2070. The project cost, initially estimated at Rs 23,502 crore in 2014, has now escalated to Rs 42,000 crore. Haryana will receive 50 percent of the generated electricity, with the central government taking the rest. Rs 80 crore is being allocated for development works in nearby villages. Also Read: Haryana govt cracks whip: 80 irrigation officials in soup over quality of concrete used in projects A project mired in challenges GHAVP, envisioned as a cornerstone of India's nuclear energy ambitions, has faced a litany of hurdles since its inception. As of May 2023, ground improvement work was 74 percent complete, with critical components, like end shields and steam generators already on site, according to a state government review that projected operations by June 2028. The latest delay pushes the timeline further, raising questions about the project's execution amidst India's pressing energy needs. Jivendra Kumar Jain, project director, and H.K. Nigotia, Chief Engineer (Civil) of the project, did not respond to ThePrint's phone calls. Parveen Jora, Fatehabad district BJP president, who accompanied Khattar and Saini on the inspection of the project site, told ThePrint Saturday that Khattar discussed in minute details the progress of the project and the challenges they were facing. 'The officers told Khattar that the civil work up to the plinth level is a major task, as it has to be given enough strength. However, the local soil, being sandy, posed challenges before the engineers. The officers also told Khattar that the civil work up to the plinth level is complete now, and the progress of the work will gather speed now,' said Jora. The concept of establishing a nuclear power plant in Gorakhpur village took shape in 1984, when the region fell under the Hisar district. Fatehabad emerged as a distinct district in July 1997, and Gorakhpur was deemed suitable for the project due to its low seismic activity and the feasibility of securing land through compensation. The central government gave its preliminary nod for the 2,800-MW nuclear facility in October 2009, prompting Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) to set up a project office in Hisar by April 2010. Acquiring land proved challenging. The government secured 1,313 acres from Gorakhpur and neighbouring Kajalheri villages, but faced strong resistance from local farmers. The 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan amplified these protests, drawing support from environmental activists and notable figures, like former Army Chief and Union Minister General (Retd) V. K. Singh—now the Governor of Mizoram—who raised concerns about safety and displacement. The agitation persisted until late 2012, when a compensation package of Rs 46 lakh per acre was offered, resolving the farmers' grievances. NPCIL purchased 186 acres in Badopal village in 2011 for a residential complex to house its staff and Central Industrial Security Force personnel. Local opposition, citing threats to the blackbuck habitat, forced NPCIL to scrap this plan in June 2018. Despite these obstacles, the project moved forward, with then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh laying the foundation stone on 13 January, 2014.
