17th NAREDCO National Convention Dates Announced

As India pushes forward its urbanisation and housing ambitions amid rapid demographic and economic shifts, the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) has announced the 17th edition of its flagship National Convention, scheduled for August 29–30, 2025, in New Delhi. With the theme “Resilient India: Inclusive, Sustainable, and Future-Ready”, the convention aims to foster serious dialogue between the real estate industry, policymakers, investors, and technology leaders.

During the curtain raiser, Rekha Gupta, Chief Minister, Delhi, urged industry members and developers to come up with the PPP models for developing state of the art hospitals, schools, shopping malls, accommodations and infrastructure and the government will give the full policy and funding support.

Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman, NAREDCO, remarked, “Urban planning is now central to India’s economic strategy. 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. India’s urban centres have the potential to lead this transition, and Delhi, with its strategic significance, must lead by example. We need public-private cooperation, but more importantly, a shift in mindset where ‘green’ becomes the default and not the exception.”

G Hari Babu, President, NAREDCO, highlighted that the convention would function as a policy accelerator. “We’re at a tipping point where growth, regulation, and innovation must align. This convention is not just a gathering—it’s where ideas are converted into action. The sector’s ability to attract global capital, improve last-mile project delivery, and serve end-users depends on how quickly we resolve policy friction points like delays in approvals, inadequate rental frameworks, and high construction input costs,” he said.

Reflecting on the regional context, Harsh Vardhan Bansal, President, NAREDCO Delhi, shared how the capital’s real estate sector is evolving, “Delhi presents a unique case where infrastructure demand is high, yet land and environmental constraints are very real. The question is not whether we can grow, but how we can grow smarter. Our focus at NAREDCO Delhi is to ensure that housing, commercial development, and urban services all move in the direction of sustainability. The future belongs to those who are thinking beyond the next quarter, and our goal is to build a future-ready, climate-conscious capital city.”

At the core of the two-day event are some of the most pressing issues shaping the real estate and infrastructure sectors. These include the evolution of RERA and associated policy reforms to improve compliance transparency, grievance redressal, and developer credibility. Affordable housing and urban development—especially rental housing models, credit-linked subsidies, and PPP frameworks—will receive focused attention, aligning with India’s long-standing housing-for-all mandate.

Capital formation and finance are also expected to dominate the discourse. As interest in Indian REITs grows and foreign investors eye residential and infrastructure assets in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the convention will delve into investment instruments, credit enhancement mechanisms, and sovereign support models that can derisk private capital in long-gestation projects.

In a nod to sustainability, technology, and future-readiness, the event will feature discussions on new-age construction technologies, such as prefabrication, BIM, and green materials. It will also explore redevelopment models for central business districts (CBDs) in ageing city cores—integrating heritage, density, and functionality.

Mobility and quality of life-key metrics in global urban indices—will also be addressed through sessions on transit-oriented development, multimodal transport, and urban liveability benchmarks. Rounding off the agenda, the topic of ease of doing business will be approached through tangible reform discussions on single-window clearances, digitisation of land records, and reducing the regulatory load on real estate developers and investors.

With over 800 delegates expected, the 17th NAREDCO National Convention is poised to serve as a springboard for consensus-building, solution design, and forward policy momentum in India’s real estate and urban planning narrative.
