The mega exhibition was inaugurated by brand ambassadors, popular star-couple Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh. Chief Minister of Maharashtra – Eknath Shinde & Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra – Devendra Fadnavis also graced the expo.
At the Expo, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Eknath Shinde asserted that construction, as an important sector, should be able to provide housing for all. It is everyone’s dream to own a high-quality home at a reasonable price. As a result, expos such as NAREDCO Maharashtra’s HOMETHON become an important platform to make people aware of options available to them. The CM was particularly pleased with the availability of e-registration at the Expo venue, which sped up the registration process. In response to Shri Sandeep Runwal’s suggestion for a reduction of stamp duty once again so that the benefits could be passed on to the home buyers, the Chief Minister urged the builders’ body to give a proper chart of what they would like to have in the form of stamp duty. Thereafter, in consultation with the finance department, a viable golden mean could be reached.
At the expo Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra announced that the government has completed the process of giving approvals to the long-stalled Dharavi Redevelopment project and the tendering process required to commence the redevelopment work will be done in three months. He also explained that the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) project will have a huge impact on property prices in Mumbai. Real estate development at NAINA would moderate prices around Mumbai and also give a lot of opportunity to developers to provide quality construction there, he further added.
In presence of the Deputy Chief Minister the NAREDCO-Knight Frank Report titled – The Grand Revival of Mumbai’s Residential Market was launched. Fadnavis also unveiled the cover of the latest magazine of The Guardians Real Estate Advisory titled – Open Acres on the occasion.
