Realty Convention
Event Summary
The Indian real estate sector has experienced encouraging growth and provided tremendous opportunities for investors. Real estate development in India is estimated to be in the region of US$ 15 billion, growing at a pace of 30% each year.
Almost 80% of real estate developed is residential space and the rest comprise office, shopping malls, hotels and hospitals. This double-digit growth is mainly attributed to the offshoring and outsourcing business, including high-end technology consulting, call centers and programming houses which are estimated to have accounted for 15 million square feet of real estate development.
In this backdrop, The Economic Times organized the Realty Convention 2008 on July 30, 2008 in New Delhi. The interactive dialogue on the Indian Realty scenario put special emphasis on sectoral opportunities in the projected regulatory framework. The event focused on topics which will influence the future. Ideas like the PPPs and SEZs formed the backbone of discussions.
The key topics of discussion were:
- Regional development & external connectivity for affordable housing:
The mandate of opportunities
- CEO’s Round Table: the real estate think-pad how to boost affordable housing through regional development
- Unveiling the new era of realty innovation: Focusing external connectivity
- India: A real (estate) investment destination what is the source of funds for affordable housing?
