Niranjan
Hiranandani, Co Founder& Managing Director, Hiranandani Developers said, “The new Modi-led NDA government is progressive and
credible and I believe that it will take all necessary steps to promote real
estate. So, the question is not whether the govt is ready to bring the desired
change. The real question is we ready to cope with the change that is going to
come. Will we continue to sit in ivory towers make high end buildings for few
or are we going to go with the govt’s agenda and follow low cost model. Are we
going to sell apartments in hundreds or in thousands? Are we ready for low
margin high volume game? That is the way forward.”
Sunil Mantri,
Chairman, Mantri Realty and President, NARDECO said, “The new government’s long term strategy is development
oriented. The biggest difference it has made in this short honeymoon period is
to turn the sentiment positive. It has made a big difference by focusing on
real estate in the budget and promoting affordable housing to achieve the goal
of housing for all by 2022 set by this government. And I believe in order to
create a huge supply a lot of reforms will follow. There is going to be a
change from margin game to volume game. And I foresee positive growth in next
6-12 months.”

About Realty Plus
Conclave & Excellence Awards..
In 2009, at the
height of the real estate recession in India, the first Realty Plus Conclave
was held to foster dialogue between key stakeholders including developers,
brokers, architects and key government representatives. The Realty Plus
Conclave of 2009 is often cited as one of the key discussion venues that marked
the comeback of real estate during that period.
Since then the
Realty Plus Conclaves have become the bellwether event of the real estate
sector in India.
The Realty Plus
Excellence Awards 2014 is a platform that recognises the contribution made by
Individuals, Developers, Architects, Property Consultants, and other key
stakeholders who have played a pivotal role in the stupendous growth of the
Indian Real Estate sector in year 2013-14. These awards are the most credible
awards in the real estate sector due to transparent process, Eminent Jury and
