■ CREDAI NCR – Message from Mr Pradeep Jain, President, CREDAI NCR

The initiative of Expo Italia Real Estate (EIRE) to have a venture of showcasing In-dian Real Estate across the world and to have a separate Indian Pavilion with Indian theme is applaudable.

This is the first time that Indian Real Es-tate is participating in such an event.

What the world is seeing is the emer-gence of a New India. The new India is home to 1/7th of the population of this planet.

In the past few years, Indian economy has been growing at an average of 8% every year. The current economic environment is creating demand for all kinds of real estate across all town categories. The Real Estate demand in all the verticals like residential, commercial, office/retail space, IT/ITES serv-ices and hotels is increasing every day.

Urbanization is growing at 2.5% per an-num to reach 41% in the year 2026 with an estimated population of 2 bn. The present share of organized retail is 4.4% of the total retail market which is expected to grow at 23% CAGR in 5 years to US$ 65 bn. Multi-retail brands and domestic business houses are eyeing the Indian Retail Sector.

The Government of India is putting em-phasis on affordable housing through Pub-lic-Private Partnership model. This will pave the way for the developers to explore new opportunities. A recent study forecasts that the Indian Real Estate Sector will grow to US $ 90 bn. by 2015.

The Government of India will spend around Rs.1,75,000 crs. (US$ 44 bn.) on Bharat Nirman Yojana. First time out of 60 years of Independence, the infrastructural development such as Rail-Road Network, Highways, Airports, Metro and Mono-rail transport system is taking place across the country. Connectivity and communication is improving. With the robust economic growth, India will be a leading Economic Power of the World and will be a home for one-fourth of the population of the World. This will result in emergence of new towns across the country, which will accommodate the entire population in organized and well-planned urban complexes. These new towns are the answer to the aspirations of the mil-lions of Indians.

Government of India has allowed For-eign Direct Investment up-to 100% under the automatic route for the development of townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction-development projects. In the last couple of years, the inflow of Foreign Direct Investment in real estate projects have increased manifold. In the year 2008, FDI Investment in India is around 12 bn US$ as compared to 3 bn. US$ in 2007.

As President of CREDAI NCR, I am proud for getting associated with ICMQ India and EIRE in such a prestigious event. I am sure that all the Participants would take the ben-efit from this Event. I invite Investors and Real Estate Developers of the Globe to par-ticipate in the growth of Real Estate Industry in India.

I wish the Event GRAND success.

■ GREETINGS FROM THE INDO – ITALIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

The Indo-Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is proud to be associated with ICMQ – the Italian certification body, and CREDAI NCR – the Consortium of Real Es-tate Developers’ Associations of India, in or-ganising the first ever delegation from India to this fourth edition of EIRE – Expo Italia Real Estate.

As part of the infrastructure sector, real estate is playing an enormous part in India. India’s success story of exponential growth needs the firm underpinning of extensive and well developed infrastructure – which can be ably supported by Italian expertise. This is why ICMQ India has recently opened an office in India, and I am honoured to chair its Advisory Committee. For some years now I have been closely involved in the develop-ment of Mumbai (Bombay) through Bombay First, an initiative to improve the economic and social infrastructure of India’s premier city and make it globally competitive.

The Indo-Italian Chamber has been at the forefront of promoting bilateral relations between India and Italy for more than 40 years, and in keeping with the Indian govern-

ment’s emphasis on promoting investments in infrastructure throughout the country, has identified it as one of its priority sectors for promotion. There is a $500-bn opportunity for investment in the sector, and since March 2005, 100 per cent FDI (foreign direct invest-ments) are allowed. This offers an excellent opportunity to Italian companies, who have a well established reputation of expertise and excellence in this sector.

At the latest editions of our major flag-ship events – Festa Italiana, in India and Na-maste India, in Italy – we presented a semi-nar on the construction sector, along with ICMQ India, and took a delegation from the infrastructure sector to several cities in Italy, respectively.

The Indian delegates to EIRE, too, will be presented with an excellent opportunity to meet up with potential European and Italian investors as well as technological and engi-neering partners through the B2B meetings that ICMQ India will organise for them and at the special conference, India – Real Es-tate Market they will present their projects in India. I am sure that they will find their visit to EIRE very productive.

For our part, the Chamber looks forward to continuing to collaborate with ICMQ In-dia and CREDAI and offers its services to the Indian and the Italian real estate companies who will forge new partnerships through EIRE. I wish them and the organisers of EIRE all success.
