THRISSUR: The crime branch team probing the fraud in the CPM-ruled Karuvannur cooperative bank arrested Pallath Kiran, the key accused in the case. Kiran, who hails from Mapranam in the district, was nabbed by the probe team from Kollamkode in Palakkad district, on Monday, the crime branch DSP V A Ullas said.

Kiran was a commission agent of the bank, and not a direct employee. However, nearly Rs 23 crore have flown into his account from the Karuvannur bank. Even though the police have not found any document establishing that Kiran has a membership in the bank, he was sanctioned a loan of Rs 45 lakh. He has also availed loans from another 41 benami accounts, several of them amounting above Rs 50 lakh each, the police sources said. Kiran, however, has said that he was not an employee of the bank and was not involved in the fraud.

Kiran had been absconding for the last several months. As per the information received by police, he had been hiding in several north Indian states as well as Tamil Nadu. He was arrested when he was on his way to Kollamkode by bus, the DSP said.

Kiran is the fourth accused in the case and now only two more accused are remaining to be nabbed in the case.

Row over min attending marriage reception

Meanwhile, minister for higher education R Bindu, has courted controversy by attending the marriage party of the daughter of one of the absconding accused. The marriage of the daughter of Ambili Mahesh was held on October 24, and Bindu, who is the wife of the acting CPM secretary Vijayaraghavan, had reportedly attended the reception at the house of the bridegroom at Muriyad.

Sources close to Bindu clarified that she had attended from the groom’s side. The groom’s mother is currently a district panchayat member. Bindu and the groom’s mother have worked for long periods in the CPM.

Emission commitments pose medium-term risks to BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China & South Africa) nations and could engender energy shortages, technology gaps and thus pose risks to medium-term growth and inflation, RBI deputy governor Michael Patra has said.

The comment comes at a time when India has been under pressure globally to reduce dependency on coal-fired power plants and cut emissions. Patra said this in his keynote address in the conference on ‘Growth and development in the BRICS economies’ organised by the Delhi School of Economics (DSE) and Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), which was released by the RBI on Monday.

“Medium-term challenges for the BRICS arise in the context of climate risks and emission commitments, which may engender energy shortages, technology gaps and hence pose risks to medium-term growth and inflation, especially for countries with large total emissions,” said Patra. He added that the immediate challenge was from elevated commodity prices for net importers like India, although they confer terms of trade gains for net exporters like Brazil and Russia. “For all the BRICS, rising food prices on account of natural calamities and demandsupply imbalances caused by the pandemic involve elevated inflation risks,” said Patra.

Are Peripheral Cities Scoring Above Big Cities In Terms Of Real Estate Investment?

Personal Finance

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Space Crunch

As per recently released CII-ANAROCK Consumer Survey, 41% respondent property seekers may buy a second home for personal use, 65% respondents who work from home will opt for bigger houses, 68% prefer peripheral/suburban areas. This clearly indicates that specially the category of end-users is open to remain remotely far from the hustles of urban city just so they can grab a bigger space. The metro cities are not only densely populated with residential and commercial structures but has land prices fairly higher for a first-time buyer. Conclusively, for this set of buyer/investors peripheral cities are emerging to be the ideal choice for investment due to immense space and proximity to metro city.

Scope of appreciation

Scope of appreciation

The peripheral locations when compared to the crowded urban cocoons offer a safe and long term investment plan. As the infrastructure surrounding the region develops overtime, and with scope of more land banks available there is chance of establishing bigger structures. Additionally, the rate of price appreciation gets better and better with time and each surrounding development.

As much as 58% of around 149,000 homes launched in 2020-21 are located in the peripheral areas of the top 7 property markets, showed data from Anarock research. The pandemic has had a significant impact in terms of project launches around this region. Since most of the properties in peripheral areas are in their primary stages of development, the lower price point not only makes it attractive but also makes the overall transaction a smart one. With homes shifting to peripheries, it is highly likely that large employers will occupy some space or open their smaller version of commercial centres/hubs to be in proximity for corporate professionals. The advent of such commercial spaces will be giving a major boost to the overall region’s stature and value.

Urban Layout & Architecture

Urban Layout & Architecture

The CII-ANAROCK Consumer Survey mentioned above also highlights that attractive pricing continues to rule the roost of must-haves, established developer credibility is the second-highest priority for 77% of the surveyed buyers. Project design and location also feature prominently on the wish list.

Location being the deal-maker/breaker for closing property transactions has gained a new nuance with peripheral cities coming into the picture. The newly developed areas are being equipped with elements of modern layout & architecture. This makes them an attractive proposition to consider not only for local but also global investors and NRI buyers. Post-pandemic with digitalization gaining better grounds in real estate homebuyers are keenly exploring the options in each category from property search to documentation and legal advice to down payments, each and every aspect is accessible via a single click.

Lastly, it is crystal clear that realtors with sufficient online presence will rule the roost going forward. Strong and strategized social media presence will be among the most effective technique in marketing your property on the right platforms.

According to the brokerage the company has reported a 24.5% revenue CAGR over FY16-21 and has consistently delivered industry-leading operating margin of ~20% throughout the past three years.

The brokerage has said that KNR’s “Standalone revenue improved 25.7% YoY to Rs 755.6 crore, largely backed by its healthy order book position and pick-up in execution post second wave disruptions. On QoQ basis, topline improved by 2.1%. The company delivered industry leading EBITDA margin and was at 22.2% (up 154 bps YoY). Effectively, EBITDA at Rs 167.5 crore, was up 35.1% YoY and PAT improved 91.1% YoY to Rs 59.4 crore.”

Key triggers for future price performance of KNR Constructions Ltd according to the brokerage

  • KNR is likely to be one of the prime beneficiaries of thriving roads and water segments (Jal Jeevan Mission).
  • Strong order book position, receipt of appointed date in most of its projects, and execution pick-up to translate into 18.8% topline CAGR over FY21-23E.

The brokerage in its research report has claimed that “The company is a focused road based EPC player that enjoys a strong execution track record with the reputation of completing projects on time/ahead of the schedule. KNR also enjoys a very healthy balance sheet and a strong return ratio. With net debt free position at standalone levels (as of date), equity commitment is likely to be supported by internal cash generation, HAM monetisation and irrigation dues recovery and should not entail new debt at standalone levels. Hence, we maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock with a SoTP based revised target price of Rs 340/share. We value its core EPC business at Rs 317/share (20x FY23E P/E).”
