Caselet Retail Buzz in South

hennai and Bangalore have witnessed the highest high-street rental growth across
India, according to a retail survey by real-estate services firm, Cushman &
CWakefield. Banjara Hills in Hyderabad has seen the highest increase in annual
rental growth at 114 per cent over last year, while Nugambakkam/Khader Nawas Khan
Road in Chennai witnessed rental growth of 106 per cent. SP Road/Begumpet in Hyderabad
and Koramangala 80 Feet Road in Bangalore have seen 100 per cent and 92 per cent growth
respectively.

Mr Rajneesh Mahajan, National Head, Retail, Cushman and Wakefield India, says, “The
economic growth in southern India has provided a large consumer base with increased
spending power. The retailers are enjoying better revenues in these markets not only
from the existing retail destinations but also in the suburban locations. As the store revenues
become comparable to Delhi and Mumbai, the demand for retail real estate would push
the prices closer to these two markets.”
Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills, though traditional markets, are preferred by new-age
retailers; demand for space here far supersedes the supply. Begumpet witnessed cent
percent increase in rentals over the last year, indicating strong demand dynamics.

7.5 Legal Issues in Human Resource

Board members must be aware of the obligations and responsibilities that are provided under
both the Federal and State statutory framework, as well as under contracts, statutory agreements
and awards.

Employment Law

There are several types of legal obligations related to employment law:
Statutes: Federal, State and Territory Governments have laws that prescribe the minimum
conditions of employment that apply to paid staff.
Awards: These are legally enforceable terms and conditions of employment in an industry or
employment sector. The Social and Community Services Employees (State) Award is the main
award that applies to staff in non-government community services employment. Some
community organisations also employ staff whose job roles are covered as part of other industry
sector awards (such as bus drivers, cooks and cleaners).
