Maharashtra's Real Estate Sector Prepares for Urban Growth at 2026 Conclave

Maharashtra’s real estate sector continues to play a pivotal role in the state’s urban growth, driven by extensive infrastructure development, robust industrial and commercial activities, and expanding metropolitan regions. As one of India’s most urbanised states, Maharashtra is poised to present its urban development journey and future priorities as NAREDCO Maharashtra leads the state’s participation at the National Urban and Real Estate Development Conclave 2026.

Scheduled to be held on 13–14 February 2026 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, the conclave will serve as a platform for states to share their development experiences and future roadmaps. Maharashtra’s participation will highlight its ongoing efforts to strengthen urban infrastructure, enhance housing supply, and support sustainable city growth across regions such as the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, and other emerging urban centres.

The participation will underscore Maharashtra’s focus on transit-led development, large-scale redevelopment projects, rental housing initiatives, and a balanced mix of residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. The state’s emphasis on ease of doing business, infrastructure-led expansion, and technology-driven urban planning will be presented to industry stakeholders from across the country.

The conclave will bring together senior policymakers, government officials, leading developers, financial institutions, investors, urban planners, and industry experts to deliberate on the future of India’s real estate and urban development landscape. Key discussions will revolve around strengthening urban infrastructure, encouraging investments, adopting sustainable development practices, and leveraging technology to improve urban efficiency.

Key topics at the conclave will include transit-oriented development, rental housing, structured and sustainable redevelopment, regulatory reforms under RERA, alignment with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code and the Consumer Protection Act, institutional investments, digitisation of property transactions, proptech adoption, and affordable housing solutions. The agenda aligns with the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, recognizing real estate as a catalyst for inclusive economic growth and resilient urban ecosystems.

India’s real estate sector is entering a critical phase, supported by steady economic growth, rapid urbanisation, and a supportive policy environment. With urbanisation expected to reach 50 percent by 2047, the need for efficient, transparent, and technology-driven urban development frameworks has become increasingly important. The conclave aims to generate actionable insights that can support long-term growth, strengthen investor confidence, and enhance the quality of life in urban India.

Highlighting the importance of Maharashtra’s participation, Mr. Prashant Sharma, President of NAREDCO Maharashtra, stated, “Maharashtra has long been at the forefront of urban and real estate development in India. From large-scale redevelopment in metropolitan regions to growth in emerging cities, the state offers valuable learnings. Through this platform, NAREDCO Maharashtra looks forward to sharing regional insights and contributing to discussions that support sustainable urban growth.”

Mr. Parveen Jain, National President of NAREDCO, added, “As India advances towards becoming a developed nation, collaboration between policymakers and industry stakeholders is essential. This conclave will foster meaningful dialogue on harmonising regulations, strengthening RERA, attracting institutional capital, and leveraging technology to build trust and efficiency in the sector. NAREDCO remains committed to driving reforms that support sustainable and inclusive urban development.”

Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman of NAREDCO, emphasized, “The National Urban and Real Estate Development Conclave 2026 comes at a pivotal moment for India’s growth journey. Real estate is not just a sector; it is a key enabler of economic expansion, employment, and urban transformation. Through focused discussions on TOD, regulatory reforms, institutional investments, and digital governance, this conclave will help shape a transparent, resilient, and future-ready real estate ecosystem aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.”

The National Urban and Real Estate Development Conclave 2026 is expected to attract wide participation from across the country and will act as a catalyst for policy dialogue, investment momentum, and innovation in the sector. NAREDCO Maharashtra invites industry leaders, developers, investors, and professionals from across the state to participate actively and contribute to shaping the future of India’s urban and real estate landscape.
