Beyond Cutting Red
Tape
DNA ( 17 Aug ) carries news report with following news
report :
“ 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.
Niranjan 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 :
Self
Certification 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 ?
Building
Castles 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 !
