Healthcare and Investment in India

Hospitals, medical devices, clinical trials, outsourcing, telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance, and medical equipment are all part of India’s health industry.

The healthcare sector holds the topmost priority for people all around the world.

The country had a horrifying experienced amid the coronavirus outbreak in the last two years and the harsh reality of the Indian healthcare system was seen. This outbreak has also led to improving the healthcare system of the Indian hospitals.

In India 2,82,970 new cases of the new variant of coronavirus, Omicron have been found with 441 deaths according to data issued by the government. This time the Indian government and the Indian healthcare system are in a better state to fight the virus.

In the 2021 budget government of India announced a 137% increase in healthcare spending to fill the gaps of the healthcare sector. In India, healthcare accounted for around 1.8 percent of GDP. A new initiative called the PM Aatmanirbhar Swasth Bharat Yojana was introduced, with a promise to spend Rs 64,180 crore on it over the next six years, with a focus on three areas: prevention, cure, and well-being.

In the GHS index, India ranks 66th out of 195 countries, with a score of 42.8 and a 0.8-point drop from 2019.

This year also an increase is expected in the Union Budget 2022 which is to be presented on February 12 and 13 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

Private players on the other hand also hold a very important role in the healthcare sector.

Vikram Thaploo, CEO of Apollo Telehealth stated, “digital health along with various innovations should be encouraged. The government should also support private players and startups in this segment to increase the current coverage of the locations including tier-2 and tier-3 cities to provide advanced healthcare facilities in these areas”.

India’s second-largest healthcare hospital chain operator, Max Healthcare Institute Ltd. has planned to invest 450 Million in the course of the next 4 years in India. This would help India to pace up its healthcare facilities.

2022 Real estate Budget expectations

During the last 2 years, there was a decline in the real estate sector due to the spread of Covid-19. From realtors to the developer’s everyone faced a hard time.

Now that an upsurge was being expected for the demand of real estate especially of residential homes, the new variant Omicron of Covid-19 has taken its place. Again a decline in the Indian economy can be expected. As the number of cases is increasing, also several restrictions are being imposed by the states.

As the 2022 budget is on its way, supportive action is being expected from the government of India. Relaxation in taxes, reduction in GST are being expected, these relaxations would help in boosting the real estate sector.

Real estate contributes to around 8% of the overall GDP proving to be an essential key factor for the Indian economy. 

Currently, up to 2 lakhs in interest paid on house loans may be deducted from income tax. To create a healthy demand in the sector, the amount should be increased from 2 lakhs. Similarly, GST exemptions or discounts on raw materials such as cement and steel should be made available. The cost of raw materials is rising, and lowering the GST rate might help developers save a lot of money.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U) 114.06 lakh residences have been sanctioned, 89.36 lakh have been grounded (or foundation stone put), and 52.55 lakh have been built.

According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, roughly 9.71 lakh residences have been finished and given to beneficiaries under the PMAY-U in Uttar Pradesh, 6.22 lakh in Gujarat, 5.26 lakh in Maharashtra, and 4.77 lakh in Andhra Pradesh under the PMAY-U.

“We expect this budget to provide policy stepping measures including tax relaxations, the impetus to the affordable housing segment, and the rental property market. Also, a stimulus to the demand generation, job creation, sustainable economic growth and support investment climate in real estate,” said Niranjan Hiranandani, Vice President, NAREDCO.

 

The new budget will be presented on 1st February 2022 by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

 

Few budget recommendations are:

  1. Raise in home loan interest deduction from 2 lakhs to 5 lakhs for tax rebate
  2. Tax exemption of Rs 50,000 for investments in REITs
  3. Extension of Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) from 31st December which is under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna 
  4. The holding period to be reduced to 12 months on capital assets at 10%
  5. Enhancement of affordable housing
  • Apartment size to be increased from 60 sq m to 90 sq m  in metro cities and 90 sq m to 120 sq m in non-metro cities
  • Rs 1.50 crore in metro cities and Rs 75 lakh in non-metro cities from Rs 45 lakh

     6. Rescue of stalled housing projects by allowing tax-neutral business consolidation through amalgamation and merger

8 Things to avoid while making an Investment

Today each and every person does investments and most investments carry risk. 

It is very common to make mistakes while investing, but making mistakes in an investment can cause you tons of money. 

There are a few common mistakes that one can make when investing. Let’s get familiar with them and make them your advantages :

1. Insights of an investment

It is very important to understand the investment you are making. If you are investing in real estate you must know and understand the market, its conditions, its nature, and the location of the property. Do thorough research before investing in any type of investment or an asset. 

2. Patience

Patience is an integral part of any investment process. You must know when to invest and when to take out your investment. Keep your head practical and logical while making the investment and during the investment also. Don’t keep your hopes too high. The investment won’t give you results in a single day, keep your calm and invest carefully.

 

3. Break-even

Holding an investment for a longer period of time, thinking the investment would recover the losses you suffered is a real mistake. When the value of the investment starts to decline and there is no going back, sell off the investment. Don’t hold on to the investment for long expecting the value of the investment would increase and give you returns. 

 

4. Emotions 

Several people let their emotions control their investment decisions. 

For example- A person likes property in an area but the value of the investment keeps on declining. Such decisions can turn into nightmares and result in waste of your money.

Don’t ever let your emotions hamper your decision making while making an investment decision. Always take your decisions wisely based on facts and figures and avoid your emotions coming in your way. 

 

5. Not planning your finances

It is important to analyze your present financial situation and your future financial position before making any kind of investment. Make a wise financial decision keeping in mind the right amount to be invested, if any interests are to be paid. If you don’t have sufficient finances, reach out to a bank.

 

6. Risk involved

Risk is uncertain hence it is very important to do a risk analysis before investing in any kind of property whether it’s the healthcare sector or real estate or even the manufacturing sector. Analyze if the property is worth the amount of investment, will the investment give potential returns or if there is any other safer option to invest in?

 

7.  Tips 

Never invest in any asset based on the tips you received from colleagues, friends or family. Any investment should be done only after thorough research.

 

8. Diversity 

Diversity is the key. Never invest all your money into a single investment, as it is said: “ never put all your eggs in a single basket”. Having a healthy portfolio is very crucial, it will help you maintain a balance between risky investments and low-risk investments. At the time when your risky investments are not giving results, your low-risk investments will help you survive.

On the other hand, do not create chaos in your portfolio as it would become difficult to monitor the investments. 

 

Making mistakes is a part of any process. But it is important to learn from those mistakes. 

To avoid making the above mistakes you must prepare a systematic plan of your investments, the risks involved, the goal plan, the return on investment, nature of the investment. Each and every detail should be kept in mind before investing. Make sure you do not make the above mistakes. 

 

All the best for your future investments. Pire Ventures is in your assistance through all your investments.
