Gurgaon- Commercial and Residential hub of NCR



The Gurgaon real estate market is growing at a steady rate be it in terms of Retail, Residential or Industrial space. Most of the absorption in Delhi NCR is likely to focus around Gurgaon and Noida, reason being the provision of much desired amenities in these areas. 
 
Reality players like DLF, Ansal API, EMAAR MGF, Assotech Realty, Microtek Infrastructures, Supertech, Amrapali, Gaursons India Ltd, etc, are coming up with new commercial projects in the NCR. Thus, private sector is revamping NCR’s environs, bringing in the much-needed impetus to the sector. According to realty experts, the impact of the subdued economic sentiment and the rising inflation rate on the realty market, and the attractiveness of a city’s business environment, can largely be gauged by evaluating the health of commercial realty in that city. 
The key factors that have fostered the rapid Realty growth as well as people’s interest to invest in residential apartments in Gurgaon include:
CLEAN AND GREEN
The increasing pollution has deteriorated NCR’s environment to a great extent but still there are regions like Gurgaon in NCR where this has been kept well in consideration which is evident through the fact that large spaces are allocated especially for parks and gardens. This enhances the beauty of this area while keeping air clean and fresh.
CONNECTIVITY
In the hustle bustle of today’s busy life, easy connectivity from home to workplace and vice versa, as well as to other places becomes a necessity. And Gurgaon offers it all, you get less traffic, wider roads and most importantly the MNCs are located in close proximity. “Impact of improving infrastructure: New and forthcoming growth corridors along Gurgaon and Noida like Yamuna Expressway, Noida Expressway, and Dwarka-Gurgaon Expressway have recorded tremendous increase in commercial and residential activities in the past few months and will continue to drive the commercial market activity.” Says Shravan Gupta, Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Emaar MGF.
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The basic necessities including educational institutes, medical facilities, and entertainment hubs are abundant in Gurgaon and moreover Realty Developers are inclined towards providing all these to attract more and more people to invest in this location.
The quality of life that is accessible in Noida and Gurgaon is quite superior. Further, the new developments like Emerald Hills by Emaar MGF which is an exclusive gated, secure, impeccably planned development in Gurgaon where all the residents' needs are within easy walking distance. Apart from this, the lavish outdoor and indoor spaces, parks, sports facilities and shopping centres complete the living experience.
Gurgaon has an abundant supply of luxury homes, which keeps the elite class interested in this area. The standard apartments feature spacious living rooms with attached balconies overlooking communal gardens and amenity building, grand entrance lobbies, high speed elevators, elegant lift lobbies and much more which catches the attention of people longing for luxurious living in NCR.
According to, Mr. Ashish Jerath, Sales Head (North), Emaar MGF, “Emaar MGF by virtue of its lineage, leverages expertise in developing unparalleled luxury housing in India. The launch of Marbella marks the commitment of Emaar MGF to continuously develop properties with modern design concepts of international standards”

The fact that Gurgaon continues to be the first stop for MNCs, speaks volumes about the sub-city. It is heartening to see authorities to be in tune with the time and planning infrastructure for new areas as per changing needs. “Real estate in Noida and Gurgaon has picked up and continues at a substantial rate because people find jobs in close proximity” says Nitin Batra, owner of Nitin Associates, a local consultant.

Dinners most transparent means of raising money: AAP

Dinners most transparent means of raising money: AAPBalakrishnan, who has taken the lead in organizing the event, said: "Interaction with Arvind and raising funds are important; the dinner is incidental.''
BANGALORE: The Aam Aadmi Party stoutly defended its proposed March-15 fundraiser dinner with Arvind Kejriwal, calling it the most "transparent" way of mobilizing election fundsat Ritz Carlton, a seven-star hotel here.

About 400 high net-worth individuals are expected to be at the ticketed event, each giving a minimum donation of Rs 20,000. It's the first time a political party is hosting a US-style fundraiser in India, with its share of critics.

"Around 75% of election funding now is not transparent; corruption starts there. What're doing is new. I hope others will follow us to raise money in a transparent manner,'' said V Balakrishnan, former member of the Infosys board and AAP candidate from Bangalore Central.

Balakrishnan, who has taken the lead in organizing the event, said: "Interaction with Arvind and raising funds are important; the dinner is incidental.'' AAP national executive member Prithvi Reddy said: "Be it votes, volunteers or money, we're dependent on people."

BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi on Tuesday questioned the Election Commission's objection to her party's events, NaMo tea party and Chai Pe Charcha. She said these are don't violate the code of conduct. "If EC thinks it's illegal, then AAP's fund-raiser dinner should also be banned," she said.

Kejriwal campaign

Arvind Kejriwal is expected to campaign for five to six days in the state, traversing between 600km and 800km. On March 15, he'll hold roadshows — Arvind at your doorstep — here. On March 16, he'll be at Chikkaballapur, Doddaballapur and Gauribidanur. The same afternoon, he'll address a public rally at Freedom Park in the city.

Pressure on farmland

The government, it appears, is yet to find ways to address conflicting demands on land. Instead of quickly charting a comprehensive approach to land utilisation, it continues to speak in different voices and at cross purposes. The latest addition to the policy confusion is the move to consider Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in agricultural land bought for real estate purposes. Existing Foreign Exchange Management Act regulations prohibit the use of FDI funds to buy farmland. However, real estate companies have tried to bypass these restrictions. Last year, the Enforcement Directorate imposed a fine of Rs. 8,600 crore on Emaar MGF for allegedly using foreign funds to buy agricultural land. The Ministry of Urban Development now wants to ease these restrictions, and the government has constituted a three-member Cabinet committee to look into it. The reasoning behind this move is that 100 per cent FDI is already permitted in developing townships, housing and other infrastructure projects. Hence, it would be only logical to extend it and allow the purchase of agricultural land for construction purposes. The other arguments are that restrictions create bottlenecks and delay projects, and that buying of agricultural land on the outskirts of a city is inevitable and necessary. 

On the face of it, relaxing FDI norms may appear to be a rational step, but in the absence of a clear-cut land use policy and plans, it will hasten unrestricted acquisition and unplanned conversion of farmland and lead to hoarding of land. In 2013, the Ministry of Rural Development published a draft National Land Utilisation Policy. It convincingly argued that the shrinkage of per capita ownership of agricultural land and the demand to produce more food — 245 million tonnes in 2013 to 307 million tonnes in 2020 — necessitates the protection of fertile land. The National Policy for Farmers, announced in 2007, insisted that the government conserve productive land and allow any change in use only under “exceptional circumstances.” These two policies make no distinction between foreign and local investment. The government has not acted on a recommendation to revive land use boards, which could provide guidelines to State governments. Nor has it implemented the idea of delineating and integrating land utilisation zones under the development plans. These measures are necessary to map the availability of land and coordinate demands for it. It is imperative to correct any institutional deficiencies and strengthen local level land-management plans to ensure an orderly process of urban development and prevent detrimental effects on agriculture and environment.
