The long-delayed Master Plan of Delhi will be implemented, turning vision into action, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said at an event by the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO).
“Our government is committed to the holistic development of Delhi—better infrastructure, modern housing, world-class hospitals, vibrant markets, and safe opportunities for women. With the Central Government’s allocation of Rs 881 crore, we are determined to transform the capital into the progress city of India,” Gupta said.
“We are equally committed to improving Delhi’s air quality through concrete measures-planting 70 lakh trees, deploying 1,000 water sprinklers, introducing 70 mechanical sweeping machines, and operationalising smoke towers for dust mitigation. Not a single jhuggi in Delhi will be removed without first providing a pucca home,” the CM said.
Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman, NAREDCO, who highlighted the global urgency of the climate crisis and the responsibility of the built environment sector.
“Sustainability is a necessity, both environmentally and economically. With construction accounting for a large portion of carbon emissions, the real estate sector must move from conventional approaches to smart, sustainable models. This means adopting green materials, planning for energy efficiency, and integrating smart infrastructure,” he said.
G Hari Babu, National President, NAREDCO, said that convention will serve as a defining milestone in encouraging developers to innovate for impact.
“From retrofitting existing structures to building climate-smart homes, the sector must adopt a forward-thinking approach that doesn’t wait for regulation to act responsibly,” he said.
Harsh Vardhan Bansal, President, NAREDCO Delhi, said that Delhi presents a unique case where infrastructure demand is high, yet land and environmental constraints are very real.
“Our focus at NAREDCO Delhi is to ensure that housing, commercial development, and urban services all move in the direction of sustainability. We are working closely with policymakers and urban planners to push for incentives that reward eco-friendly practices and penalize shortsighted developments,” Bansal said.
