Pune 6th October 2024 Members and other stakeholders about the processes of redevelopment to be followed and acquaint them with various Acts, Regulations, RERA guidelines, Court orders, etc that are necessary to understand. For disseminating such information transparently and seamlessly, we need a web portal; so that all information is displayed to resolve problems and see that projects are monitored”. He added, “We need e-monitoring methods and an Alternate Dispute Resolution’ for stalled projects. Also, we need a ‘Self-Regulated Organization (SRO) platform like a Section 8 Company for self-regulation”. Meanwhile, NAREDCO Maharashtra Collaborated with Ex-MahaRERA Chief Shri Gautam Chatterjee for a Launch ‘Grihamony Redevelopment Stakeholders Federations (GRSF)” for Awareness in Redevelopment. Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman, NAREDCO and Co-founder, Hiranandani Group, advocated for the need to reduce premium on redevelopment. He said, “The challenge is to match the pace of redevelopment. Reduction of premium would create more affordable housing in the city and hence, at least 50% reduction in premium is necessary. Redevelopment should provide aspirations for a better quality of life”. Mr Rajan Bandelkar, Vice Chairman, NAREDCO and Director, Raunak Group said, “It is important to balance viability for the private sector for undertaking redevelopment projects. The Government should incentivize the societies, which undertake self-redevelopment and consume lesser FSI. People who use lesser FSI, there should not be any premium considering the climate change challenge and the issues engulfing the redevelopment agenda”. Talking about the need to have a conciliation mechanism in Redevelopment, Mr Hitesh Thakkar, Vice President, NAREDCO Maharashtra and Partner, Prem Group, suggested that there needed a framework for resolution of disputes for finding amicable redressal, as the projects would get delayed and entail into high litigation costs.
