Mumbai: Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry (MCHI), the representative body of developers and builders from Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) is organizing its Property Show – arguably, India’s only official Property show – in Dubai, U.A.E. from January 12 – 14, 2012.
MCHI’s India Realty Expo, 2012 – Dubai aims at providing a safe and secure platform to the expatriate Indians as they explore the vast opportunities available in the Indian real estate industry, especially in Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Leading developers will participate, showcasing residential and commercial properties, plots and bungalows from across the MMR as also Mumbai’s nearby locations, said Mr. Paras Gundecha, President, MCHI. “MCHI has set up a Consumer Grievance Cell, this will add to the ‘safe and secure’ aspect of buying property for expatriate Indians at MCHI’s India Realty Expo, 2012 – Dubai,” he added. “This initiative is expected to make buying at MCHI’s India Realty Expo, 2012 – Dubai a truly safe and secure experience,” he added.
Largely, NRIs buying Indian property have concerns about timely possession of the home booked as also getting all amenities and facilities as per the agreement signed. In a move that will re-assure property buyers from the G.C.C. and the U.A.E. at MCHI’s India Realty Expo, 2012 – Dubai, MCHI will ensure that participating developers sign ‘A Mandate of Assurance’, effectively promising home buyers at the event that they will deliver what has been promised, said Boman Irani.
Dubai being the leading location in the U.A.E. for holding Indian Property Shows has been the deciding factor in making it the perfect venue for this property exhibition. Also, its location would give greater accessibility to Indians living in other parts of the G.C.C. to visit this exhibition as well.
The MCHI President said, “With the current scenario as regards global currency markets, expatriate Indians will find buying Indian property extremely lucrative. Real estate in Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region has emerged as extremely attractive investment options for expatriate Indians, seeing the huge growth potential it offers. In line with the growing interest in Indian Realty, MCHI’s Property Shows facilitate an interaction between the NRIs, realty investors & developers, all under one roof, wherein they get to know firsthand the types of properties available, loan options & other formalities required, in finally procuring their property back home.”
“Indians living in the U.A.E. are among the well placed among the Indian Diaspora. The high-end expatriate Indian who is in the top level income group, has a high disposable income. With the current scenario in global currency markets making Indian realty very atractive, this seems an ideal time for them to invest in property back home. This would give them excellent returns at the same time giving a boost to the Indian economy” , added the Hon Secretary, MCHI.
