Speaking at the event, 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, are we ready to cope with the change that is going to come? Will we continue to sit in ivory towers and make high end buildings for few or are we going to go with the government?s agenda and follow low cost model??

Sunil Mantri, Chairman, Mantri Realty and President, NARDECO said that, ?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. ?
