Press Release Body: Developments in the Indian real estate sector symbolize the
changing face of nation and it is a reflection of the growth in the Indian economy
brought about by high rates of GDP and also by India\'s integration with the global
economy, said Kamal Nath, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry. He was speaking
at the \"National Convention \'NATCON 2008\': Real Estate for All\" organised by the
Confederation of Real Estate Developer\'s Association of India (CREDAI). He also
stated that in the recent years, services sector, real estate sector in particular,
has been the main driving engine of Indian economy\'s growth.

\"With the economy on an upswing, the emphasis and requirement today is on creating
international standard infrastructure and residential real estate to sustain the
growth rate projected in the 11th Five Year Plan. The real estate sector in India
has the capacity to manage growth by itself without straining Government resources,\"
he stated. The Minister further stated that we have already opened construction
development sector for FDI and the policy permits wholly owned subsidiary in this
sector in India by a foreign company. \"Of course, there are conditions regarding
minimum area for real estate development and minimum capitalization to be brought in
by the foreign investor. A number of global players have entered the Indian market
and many more have shown interest. Growth and investment have also created
opportunities for investment in real estate sector, he said.

\"While the role of the Government is expected to be primarily as a facilitator to
the development process, the private sector participation is aimed at bringing
technical and managerial expertise in delivering good quality mass housing projects.
It is a good sign that many State governments are joining hands with private
entrepreneurs in resolving the acute scarcity of residential real estate in urban
areas. The private sector and Government has to work in tandem towards a common
goal. It is equally important to address the institutional and regulatory aspects as
well as strengthen and expand the capacity of financing institutions for further
growth of the sector,\" Nath said.
