Delhi NCR has been known for its
strategic location and its contribution to commercial growth in Indian economy.
Expansive urbanization has steered a massive influx of immigrant population in
this region over the last decade. Subsequently, ecology in Delhi NCR has
undergone many restructuring initiatives to sustain this quantum of
commercialization and growing population.
Gurgaon also popularly known as
‘Millennium city’ has absorbed a prominent share of commercial growth and
population burst. Most of the immigrant population constitutes salaried class
and they prefer an ‘integrated’ lifestyle. Integration predominantly refers to
proximity of schools, hospitals and shopping marts to their residencies. Hence
the working class immigrants have welcomingly opted for high/mid-rise
apartments for their habilitation. However, such a magnitude of demand for housing
and commercial space was unannounced for this town. Therefore, high-rise
residencies have rapidly proliferated and Gurgaon has turned into a
full-fledged business district in a very short span of time. The persistent
demand for construction has put immense pressure on limited availability of
land in Gurgaon.
Recently, the growing paucity of
land encouraged government to constitute an investigation committee for recommending
resolution to the problem of land scarcity. As an outcome of these
recommendations, Environment and Forest ministry at the center has decided to
delegate decision making powers. The
state governments according to new rulings will be capacitated to locally
formulate statutes for high-rise residencies in different states. This ruling
has been welcomed by builder associations all throughout the states in
India. Gurgaon specifically needed
favorable norms to complete the under-construction residential and commercial
projects. Numerous Indian and Foreign service sector companies have their head
and corporate offices in Gurgaon. With expanding operations and scope of trade,
there has been a parallel increase in demand of office spaces and
residences. This ruling will help
permitting more high-rises to be accommodated here and subsequently overcome
the mounting pressure from scarcity of land.
The collaborative decision has
been taken in due consultation with administrative committees and real estate
experts. The new guidelines would
further enhance construction scope in this region as the developers would get
free from their blocked investments owing to lack of clearances from
ministries. The government has made sure to implement this ruling with a
strategy for future sustenance. Specifications for width of approaching roads
to localities and proximity to firefighting stations have been laid down to be
dutifully adhered for construction.
The relaxing of norms by the
union government has been opinioned as a logical move at the right time. It
would certainly bring in the balance between growing need of houses and
directing development to be well planned and sustainable. Developers have been
encouraged with a mix of factors acting in favor of growth for realty sector.
Recently, RBI has graded residential real-estate as a separate sub sector and
allowed for cheaper external commercial borrowings. These rulings have been seen
as a win-win situation for all the stakeholders in real estate sector.
