“
22 L homes by ’19 : realtors for cut in Red Tape “
Realty players have made a strong case for simplification of
procedure for the availability of land and a drastic cut in delays to grant
various approvals to achieve CM Devendra Fadnavis' ambitious target of
construction of 22 lakh houses by 2019.
Some players estimate construction of 2,000 houses per day. They
also emphasise the need for the government undertaking such as Maharashtra
Housing & Area Development Authority (MHADA) and private developers to work
together.
Anuj Puri, Chairman of ANAROCK Property Consultants, hopes the
CM's announcement doesn't remain a political gimmick. He told DNA,
"Availability of land and approval delays remain the biggest roadblock.
Another cornerstone for the success of this ambitious plan is effective Public
Private Partnership. Developers as well as MHADA need to embrace the use of
technology to bring down the construction cost as well as time.''
Manju Yagnik,
Vice-Chairperson of Nahar Group, says the government will have to simplify the
land acquisition process. ''Having limited land parcels in the city, there is a
dire need for vertical expansion which will happen with floor space index (FSI)
ratios being doubled. Simplification of the building approval process will also
cut down on delays in construction and project launches. Right policies,
financial funding and participation from private developers will definitely
give the push,'' she notes.

Hiranandani, President of National Real Estate Development Council (West) says,
"The government needs to ensure availability of land at a price-point
which would make the projects viable; ensure time-bound clearance as also
provide taxation reliefs – all stakeholders work "in sync" being the
catch-phrase — the cumulative effect of all these would be ensuring
construction of such houses."
Cut the red tape ? Sure , but can we be more specific ?
For example :
Will builders ask the government to
implement :
SelfCertification for Builders ( 04 Nov
2015 )
And , beyond the Government Red Tape , will the builders be willing
to embrace the Procedural and the Technological Innovations , described below ?
BuildingCastles in the Air ( 25 July
2015 )
Dream House by 2020 ? ( 01
Sept 2015 )
Quantum Jump of 50 million houses ( 13 Feb
2016 )
3D Printed Office ? (
27 May 2016 )
Housing for All ? A Status Report (
09 Sept 2016 )
A Roof over Every Head ? (
07 March 2017 )
Dear Builders :
No one knows it better than yourselves
that constructing millions of houses within next 5 years ( remember Shri Modiji’s
speech 2 days back ? ), will require a “ Change of Mind-Set “
And the ball is in your court – by approaching
the Government with a CONCRETE proposal
Vaguely worded requests ( Be honest / Be punctual ? ) , just won’t
do !
