NBCC Set to Undertake RERA-Approved Projects in J&K, Says Chairman
New Delhi, Feb 14: Shri Satish Chandra, IAS (Retd.), Chairman of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Authority (RERA) for Jammu and Kashmir, has announced that the National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) is likely to undertake housing and real estate projects in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a Panel Discussion on RERA Reforms in the Housing Sector under the aegis of the National Urban and Real Estate Development Conclave-2026, Mr. Chandra revealed that RERA of J&K is in active discussions with multiple agencies to secure approvals for several real estate projects. These projects are expected to span both the Jammu and Srinagar regions, with parcels of land currently being identified for development.
While the NBCC is planning to play a significant role in constructing these housing projects, Mr. Chandra was cautious about divulging too many details at this stage. However, he emphasized that the NBCC's involvement is a clear indication of the government's commitment to boosting the real estate sector in J&K.
Mr. Chandra also mentioned that RERA has been allocated office space in both Srinagar and Jammu to facilitate the approval process for real estate projects. Currently, there are five such projects in the pipeline, and there is a growing enthusiasm among developers to construct these projects under the stringent regulations set by RERA.
The National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) is a leading public sector enterprise in India, known for its expertise in construction and infrastructure development. The corporation has a rich history of undertaking large-scale projects across the country, and its entry into J&K is expected to bring a significant boost to the local economy and housing sector.
The involvement of NBCC in RERA-approved projects is a testament to the government's efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in the real estate market. RERA, established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, aims to protect the interests of homebuyers and promote a healthy and robust real estate sector.
The initiative to undertake these projects in J&K is part of a broader strategy to enhance urban development and improve the quality of life for residents. With the support of NBCC and RERA, the government is poised to create a more sustainable and inclusive housing market in the region.
