Message from the Experts
Low cost housing is one of the critical areas in our inclusive growth. This conference is extremely well timed in view of the recent approval policy on ECB. The participants will definitely benefit from the topic of discussions. I wish all the best to the organisers for this critical conference.
Shri Dhanendra Kumar, Chairman - Committee on Streamlining Approval Procedures for Real Estate Projects, Govt. of India |
Given the current shortage of debt and equity capital impacting the real estate sector in India today, allowing ECB’s for affordable housing in the real estate sector is definitely a step in the right direction by the Central Government. A specialized conference focussing solely on this aspect will definitely help the conference delegates gain insights into the fine print of various regulations, mechanisms and the relevant opportunities concerning this issue. I would like to thank Blackarrow Conferences for this initiative.
