Realtors' apex body Credai, which represents more than 13,000 developers as members, has come out with a report, 'The National Real Estate Development Framework 'Vision 2047' at its annual conference. The report aims to guide the transformation of the Indian real estate sector and make it globally competitive.
The future of Indian real estate is not just about creating buildings, but about building communities, livelihoods, and aspirations, Credai National President Shekhar Patel said. The report is both a vision document and a call to action, inviting all stakeholders to come together to achieve these goals.
Patel emphasized that the real estate sector would play an important role in making India a developed nation by 2047. To achieve this, Credai has suggested a framework comprising nine key pillars.
Seeking land reforms, the body said there is a need to ensure conclusive land titling through the Land Titling Act. It also stressed the need to create a unified national digital land register to enhance transparency and accessibility. For affordable housing, Credai suggested the creation of land banks. The association also emphasized the development of 100 'cities of tomorrow'.
Ease of doing construction constitutes the third pillar, seeking to transform building plan approvals via digitisation, transparency, and time-bound processing. Credai also suggested that the Centre and states should rationalise development and approval charges. It recommended setting up dedicated funds for infrastructure financing, including government-backed infrastructure and housing bonds.
The report also mentioned the need to focus on slum redevelopment and the promotion of the construction of green buildings. There is a need for the adoption of new technologies in all spheres of the real estate sector, right from construction to customer relationship management, the report added.
Skill development and labour welfare form the eighth pillar. The report advocated state-led demand assessments and trade-specific training infrastructure. It also sought reforms in labour cess utilisation to directly benefit workers.
The final pillar, ease of living, promotes celebrating cultural uniqueness and heritage in all major urban centres, advancing citizen-driven governance models, and incorporating climate resilience into urban infrastructure. Credai sought the establishment of high-level committees at the Prime Minister's level, state-level war rooms, and a phased implementation plan.
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 association said.
