Gandhinagar: Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, while addressing the National Conclave of CREDAI (Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India) held in Delhi, stated that the role of the realestate sector is vital in realising the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
CM stated that the real estate sector will play a key role in achieving the Prime Minister’s vision of a Viksit Bharat@ 2047.
Speaking at the conclave held a week before the birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna and former Prime Minister Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, CM said that Vajpayeeji laid the foundation of good governance and 21st-century India, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken forward.
Referring to ‘Housing for All’, he said the Prime Minister is committed to ensuring permanent housing for the poorest, with Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana as a key initiative, and urged CREDAI and the real estate sector to work with the Centre and States.
Highlighting the role of developers, CM said that real estate goes beyond buildings, as it is where family dreams take shape, businesses grow, and lives are uplifted.
CM urged developers to build homes rooted in the Indian ethos, adopt Indian designs inspired by global technology, and reflect the spirit of ‘Made in India’ along with the nation’s heritage and values.
Emphasising sustainability and innovation, the Chief Minister called for eco-friendly buildings, promotion of research, and farsighted planning to manage resources amid rapid urbanisation.
Referring to Gujarat’s progress, CM said that over the past 25 years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Gujarat has emerged as a role model of development with well-planned urban growth and has become the country’s most urbanised state.
Gujarat has attracted developers with systems like the Single Window Clearance, digital land records, and time-bound approvals. Its focus on green buildings, renewable energy, water conservation, and waste management has made it a top destination for real estate investment.
Highlighting GIFT City and Dholera Smart City, he said these iconic projects reflect the Prime Minister’s farsighted vision. Dholera, spanning 920 sq. km., is attracting industries like semiconductors, aerospace, and defence, with the Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway and greenfield airport nearing completion.
GIFT City offers plug-and-play infrastructure with world-class facilities ready for businesses on arrival.
CM said that a Viksit Bharat should reflect Atmanibharta, ease of doing business, and quality of life, integrating innovation, technology, and sustainability, and urged the real estate sector to
create liveable, lovable, and future-ready cities.
The National Conclave was attended by CREDAI Chairman Boman Irani, President Shekhar Patel, President-Elect G. Ram Reddy, and CREDAI representatives from various states across the country.
