The real estate sector plays a crucial role in India's development, and Credai's report is both a vision document and a call to action for all stakeholders. Shekhar Patel, National President of Credai, emphasized that the future of Indian real estate is not just about creating buildings but about building communities, livelihoods, and aspirations.
To achieve this transformation, Credai has proposed a framework comprising nine pillars. The first pillar focuses on land reforms, advocating for conclusive land titling through the Land Titling Act and the creation of a unified national digital land register to enhance transparency and accessibility. This will help in promoting affordable housing by creating land banks and ensuring that land is available for development.
The second pillar is the development of 100 'cities of tomorrow'. Credai suggests that these new cities should be designed with modern infrastructure, sustainable living, and smart technology in mind. This will not only improve the quality of life but also attract investment and drive economic growth.
Ease of doing construction forms the third pillar. Credai proposes transforming building plan approvals through digitization, transparency, and time-bound processing. This will reduce the time and cost involved in obtaining approvals, making it easier for developers to start and complete projects.
The fourth pillar focuses on rationalizing development and approval charges. Credai suggests that the central and state governments should set up dedicated funds for infrastructure financing, including government-backed infrastructure and housing bonds. This will ensure that there is adequate funding for essential infrastructure projects.
The fifth pillar emphasizes the need for slum redevelopment and the promotion of green buildings. Credai advocates for the adoption of new technologies in all spheres of the real estate sector, from construction to customer relationship management. This will help in creating more sustainable and efficient buildings.
Skill development and labor welfare form the eighth pillar. Credai calls for state-led demand assessments and trade-specific training infrastructure to ensure that the workforce is equipped with the necessary skills to meet the demands of the sector. Additionally, reforms in labor cess utilization are needed to directly benefit workers.
The final pillar, ease of living, promotes celebrating cultural uniqueness and heritage in all major urban centers. It also advocates for advancing citizen-driven governance models and incorporating climate resilience into urban infrastructure. Credai seeks the establishment of high-level committees at the Prime Minister's level, state-level war rooms, and a phased implementation plan to ensure that these initiatives are implemented effectively.
Together, these pillars chart a path toward a transparent, sustainable, inclusive, and technologically advanced real estate and urban development ecosystem fit for India's ambitious future. The report is a comprehensive roadmap that, if followed, can transform the Indian real estate sector into a global leader.
Credai's vision is not just about building structures but about creating a better future for all. By focusing on these nine pillars, the real estate sector can play a significant role in making India a developed nation by 2047.
