Niranjan Hiranandani, Founder and First President of NAREDCO, Maharashtra stated that this is possible, and we can do it. The more he added that high cost of the land is big hurdle in the construction of affordable housing units, but this issue could be easily resolved if the state government can provide salt pan land for those projects which are affordable and with no profit and no loss objective.

We will meet him with all the details of affordable housing project and our main objective will be to make sure that one lakh low-cost and affordable houses get built every year for next five years in MMR (Mumbai Metropolitan Region) with the co-operation and support of state government”.

According to Niranjan Hiranandani, Game plan is very simple; At NAREDCO, Maharashtra we will deploy all the best possible technologies and equipments to make sure that cost of these project get within the budget. In Maharashtra there are several region where land for these kinds of projects are available, if state government will allow us to use land for these projects, so real estate developers who are the member of NAREDCO will build such housing units not in juts MMR region, but in all over Mumbai. The more he added that at this point of time we want to earn good name for entire industry and on the same time we want to help people to own dream homes in affordable price.

This is positive idea and there are many real estate developers who are ready to construct and help in these kinds of projects for a specific number of houses. There is no pressure in this project because we have seen real estate developers are voluntarily coming up with numbers of homes which they want to build.
