Municipalika 2017
The 14th edition of Municipalika, a three-day exhibition and conference on Smart and Sustainable Cities, organised at CIDCO Exhibition Centre, Navi Mumbai, from 18th to 20th May, ended on a high note, providing valuable insights and solutions for urban infrastructure and housing development in India.
India is on the cusp of large-scale urbanisation
Infrastructure status for affordable housing was a long-standing requirement of the sector. This move should boost the volume of construction activity across the country, which has been struggling with reduction in the number of projects being launched over the last few quarters.
Infra status won’t drop prices, but will increase housing supply
With infrastructure, we expect the affordable housing segment to develop a new degree of velocity because the cost of capital is going to reduce and lenders are going to be motivated to invest money in this sector. Likewise, the tax status for development is beneficial with the infrastructure status.
