NAREDCO has extended heartfelt appreciation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his bold vision of “Housing for All” and the transformative reforms under his leadership, particularly the rationalisation of GST rates and simplification of processes—steps hailed as historic for India’s economy and real estate sector.

In this spirit, NAREDCO has addressed an open letter to the Prime Minister, proposing that his birthday, September 17, be observed as “Right to Housing Day”—a tribute to his unparalleled contribution in turning the dream of affordable housing into a reality for millions of Indians.

In the open letter addressed to the PM, Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman, NAREDCO India, has stated, “At the outset, I convey my deepest gratitude to you and your esteemed team for the bold and visionary next-generation reforms under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. As you so powerfully reaffirmed in your Independence Day address, the recent rationalisation of GST rates and simplification of processes represent landmark steps in fortifying the foundations of our economy. These measures will deliver far-reaching benefits to all sections of society—especially the common man, farmers, MSMEs, the middle class, women, and youth—by making our tax system more transparent, fair, and growth-oriented.”

He has written that under the PM’s extraordinary leadership, India’s real estate sector has undergone a historic transformation. The implementation of RERA and GST has brought in an era of transparency, accountability, and customer-centric professionalism.

“Today, India stands proud as one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets, reflecting your government’s unwavering commitment to reform, growth, and global best practices,” he says.

“It is truly the nation’s fortune that under your vision, the dream of Housing for All has advanced from aspiration to reality. Through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, more than 4 crore homes have been built, offering dignity, security, and hope to millions of families, particularly women and marginalized communities. The launch of PMAY-U 2.0 and allied initiatives ensures the continued creation of lakhs of homes with modern amenities, transforming the social and economic fabric of both urban and rural India,” he says.

“In recognition of this monumental contribution, it is the earnest wish of NAREDCO to commemorate your Hon’ble birthday, 17th September, as “Right to Housing Day”—a fitting tribute to your vision of a developed, inclusive, and empowered India. We, at NAREDCO, also solemnly pledge to champion this noble cause, working shoulder to shoulder with your government to ensure that every Indian has access to adequate and dignified housing,” Dr Hiranandani writes.
