The Haryana government is augmenting land resources for Gurgaon in the new master plan in an attempt to accommodate a projected spike in population by 2025.

Despite being a parched region, Gurgaon has taken the lead in residential development emerging as the best option for both end users and also for investors. Realizing this well, Haryana government recently moved a plan to increase the residential area per acre to accommodate more people over the next 10-12 years - and there are reasons to do that. A recent National Capital Region Planning Board study has shown that the capital city of Delhi managed to see a downward trend in the population growth, particularly on account of migration, only because of people now finding space in the NCR cities.

Because of its good track record of managing the law and order situation efficiently, Gurgaon has outscored its other competitors in around Delhi. Considering the trends of people still finding Gurgaon a better option, the district administration has proposed these positive changes. The proposals provided in the new draft Development Plan 2025 of Gurgaon-Manesar Urban Complex talk of preparing the city to cater to the needs of a projected population of 39.7 lakh. The earlier Master Plan for 2021 had projected to accommodate 37 lakh people.
However, the ground reality is quite different. Rough estimates suggest that Gurgaon and Manesar put together have already crossed the 30-lakh mark. There is every probability that the population in the region will touch the 60-lakh mark by 2025.

So, any amount of planning to increase residential area in the urban complex is a welcome step, though it might not be adequate to meet future requirements. As per the proposed revised plan, 37,314 hectares would come under the planned development instead of an earlier 37,069 hectares. It would include an area of 15,009 hectares for residential purposes against the earlier earmarked area 14,930 hectares for residential development.

This means around 1,500 acres of additional area will come under residential use. Sources said that this additional land would be used for development of three major residential complexes and scores of group housing societies.

For developing commercial, industrial, public utilities, special economic zone and defence land, the allocated area, however, will remain unchanged. As per the proposed plan, which is likely to be adopted and approved by the state government, 4,283 hectares of land would be earmarked for transport and communication facilities, while earlier it was 4,231 hectares for these services. A provision of 1,642 hectares of land would be made for public and semi-public use (institutional), which will slightly increase by 12 hectares. Earlier, 1,630 hectares were proposed for institutional areas. The area for open spaces has also been increased from 2,675 hectares to 2,828 hectares.

Taking into account the rapid population growth in Haryana, the state government had revised the population density for urban complexes across the state last year. The draft development plan of Gurgaon would be prepared as per new guidelines, calculating the population density at 120 persons per acre as compared to 100 persons per acre earlier.

The existing urban area is of 406 hectares while the rural areas occupy 428 hectares. The 2021 Development Plan comprised 41 controlled areas, sources said that but since the chief minister has ordered that all the sector roads in the forthcoming new residential sectors to be developed by HUDA be interconnected, more land will be required. So, six more controlled areas have been added in Gurgaon, which have already been notified.

 Sources said that to accommodate more people, the city has to follow a vertical mode of development rather than the traditional plan of horizontal development. In the last decade, Gurgaon and Faridabad had become the most sought after residential destinations for those who were ready to shell out a little more to own a plot in the NCR.

Though, even now, the HUDA has plans to auction plots in the new sectors, sources said that almost all the sectors would see the development of multistorey group-housing societies. "The development and plan to accommodate more people should also be supported by infrastructure augmentation. Water and electricity supply has to be upgraded. Only
then can we can achieve sustainable development," said Bhawani Shankar Tripathy, a RWA activist.

SHRI RAM SHAW charts the development of Gurgaon, which has for long been the cradle of private property developers and is also known as the IT city of Haryana, and analyses it future prospects for realty development

Gurgaon, adjoining the national capital, has emerged as the largest realty hub in Haryana in the last two decades. The city has attracted some of the biggest names among MNCs, corporate and industrial houses. However, owning property in Gurgaon is set to become more expensive with the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) planning to impose property tax. On the other hand, property dealers and real estate agents in Gurgaon not registering themselves with the district administration will face penal action. But the good news is that recognizing the contribution made by the senior citizen in the development of the state, the Haryana Housing Board has provided 2% reservation in the allotment of houses for senior citizens who have attained the age of 60 years.

Gurgaon, located in the National Capital Region, has for long been the cradle of private property developers and is also known as the IT city of Haryana. Rajesh Khullar, Municipal Commissioner of MCG, said the corporation expected to generate over Rs 100 crore annually in revenue by the imposition of the new tax. He added that the maximum rate of taxation had been decided as Rs 3 per square feet of the covered area or 2.5% of the annual rent for rented premises in residential areas and 5% for rented properties in commercial areas. The objective method of assessing the rent would be used to calculate tax in cases where the owners do not provide details of property and rent.

The local residents have demanded more clarity on the proposal to impose property tax from the state government. Colonel Raj Singla, president of Chamber of Udyog Vihar, said most of the dwelling areas in Gurgaon had been developed by agencies like Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) and private developers like DLF and Unitech. He demanded that the area should be handed over to the municipal corporation before the implementation of any new tax, in the same way as the panchayats had handed over the land to the municipal corporation. The residents wanted to first ascertain the identity of the authority responsible for maintaining the area.

The meeting of various RWAs from Gurgaon and the Haryana chief minister is finally bearing some fruit. The RWAs, under the umbrella of apex resident body Joint Action Forum of Residents' Association (Jafra), had met Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda in June on the issue of issuance of house tax assessment notices by MCG. Senior officials of the local bodies department have indicated that a specially constituted body of taxation department and others was seriously deliberating for introducing certain changes in the form of house tax calculations and other possible exemptions.

The officials also indicated that those who have already deposited house tax based on the assessment notices would be benefited with, if at all any subsidy was announced later, and their amount would be adjusted against those benefits. The MCG has earmarked about 2.75 lakh properties of all types, including the self-occupied houses, for the purpose of issuing house tax assessment notices. Till date, about one lakh notices have been issued in Gurgaon and MCG hopes to net nearly Rs 350 crore in the form of house tax.

According to a senior official of local bodies department, the Haryana Taxation Committee had been deliberating to bring in some changes in the calculation method. "During the one-hour meeting, the resident's association had appraised the Haryana CM about the concern of lakhs of people," said Colonel (Retd) Ratan Singh, the chairman of Jafra. And property dealers and real estate agents in Gurgaon who are not registering themselves with the district administration will face penal action. Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Rajinder Kataria said officials have been asked to get shops and offices of property dealers and real estate agents video graphed and photographed to know who all are operating in the district. All realty dealers have to register themselves under the Haryana Regulation of Property Dealers and Consultancy Act.

"After the completion of the survey, those found indulging in property business without a valid licence would be issued notices under the act. The penal provisions might be imposed later on by the administration to enforce the act," Kataria said. The deputy commissioner, who is also, designated as collector under the act, said, "Anyone found indulging in property consultancy business without having a valid license will be liable to pay a fine ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh."
Kataria said that after repeated warnings from the Gurgaon administration, only a few property dealers had started applying for obtaining licence under the act.

"Though the city is flooded with signboards of property dealers and builders, only a few are turning up to obtain a valid licence for property dealing." He added that for registration, a licence fee of Rs 25,000 had to be paid by an individual while in case of an organization, company or society, a fee of Rs 50,000 would be levied. The licence would be valid for a period of five years and would have to be renewed again after that for a fee ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000.

Recognizing the contribution made by senior citizens in the development of the state, the Haryana Housing Board has provided 2% reservation in the allotment of houses for senior citizens who have attained the age of 60 years. A spokesman of the board said that Housing Board, Haryana was the first housing board in the country to provide 33% reservation of the total houses and flats constructed by it for women applicants to improve their socio-economic status.

The State Government has framed a policy to transfer 50% plots for economically weaker sections of the society carved out by colonizers in the plotted colonies for which licenses have been issued by department of Town and Country Planning, Haryana for BPL category. He said that so far the Board had taken over the possession of 453 plots at Ratia, District Fatehabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Dharuhera. The process to take possession of over about 1,000 developed plots at Gurgaon, Sonipat, Panipat, Karnal and Faridabad was in progress, out of 3,400 plots offered so far in various districts. He said that the Bhupinder Singh Hooda had already announced several incentives for the weaker sections of the society.
The official said that about 43 acres of land under various Municipal Committees of Rohtak, Ambala, Cheeka, Karnal and Pehowa had been identified where about 3,500 houses of different categories, mainly for lower strata of the society would be planned. The board had already purchased 18.75 acres of land at Sector 5, Hansi and six acres of land at Sector 1, Narnaul from HUDA, where about 1,222 houses of different categories would be constructed.

The spokesman said that during this year, Housing Board, Haryana had launched housing schemes comprising 2,932 houses at industrial estates, Bawal and Barhi, Sector 4, Hisar; Sector 9, Bahadurgarh; Sector 19, Sirsa; Sector 4 & 5, Karnal and Sector 8, Jind. Construction work of 802 houses at Hisar, Karnal, Bawal and Barhi was in progress and construction of balance 2,130 houses would be started shortly as tenders for these works were under process. The construction of 3,085 houses at Rs 186.50 crore was in progress at Panchkula, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Hisar, Bhiwani, Sonipat, Gurgaon, Bawal, Barhi and Faridabad, he added.

Confederation of Real Estate DevelopersAssociation of India (Credai) plans to file a case against the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Acording to the national Vice president of CREDAI Mr Prakash Challa “Currently we are collecting it from our customers which we don’t want to. Soon we will file a case at the national level,’’.

He said the service tax would only escalate cost (to customers). Developers collect money either by charging 4.12 per cent of the construction cost or by collecting 10.3 per cent from the overall saleable value.

In apartments, rainwater is filtered and harvested from the terrace roof area and channelled into an open well. Rainwater can also be filtered and let flow into a borewell through an indirect recharge pit. The cost of the project can be divided equally among the apartment owners. Considering that the project's lifecycle is over 50 years, it is a successful one since huge amount of water will be saved from going waste and adding to urban flooding. The water can be used for watering plants, washing vehicles as well as washing clothes and other utilities.

K.K. Birla Group company Texmaco Ltd will soon make a foray into real estate development in the national capital.

The company would be developing a residential-cum-commercial unit opposite Delhi University to begin with.

Speaking to reporters after the company's annual general meeting on Thursday, Texmaco chairman Saroj Poddar said the Supreme Court had recently allowed Texmaco Ltd to develop onethird of a 31-acre plot opposite Delhi University.

The said land earlier belonged to Birla Mills and had been engaged in a legal tangle for some time.

The remaining two-thirds of the plot opposite the university would lie with Delhi Development Authority (DDA), the Delhi government's developmental agency, which will share half the revenue received from any development with the company.

Poddar added that currently the finer aspects of the project are being studied with the DDA and would be finalised very soon.

He also pointed out the futility of setting up more wagon making units in the country when the ones operated by the private sector are not used to their optimum capacity.

It may be mentioned that Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee had announced setting up four wagon-making units while presenting the Railway Budget for 2010-11.

Texmaco has recently demerged its core wagon making and steel foundry business to Texmaco Rail and Engineering Ltd retaining the real estate business with itself.

The de-merged entity is planning to venture into a new business of setting up logistics for the Railways via foreign collaboration, Ramesh Maheshwari, executive vice chairman, said without giving any further details.

Asmall house will look spacious and airy if simple principles of Vaastu are observed. This will also increase the happiness and wellbeing of the residents.
If there is only one room in the house, it is advisable for the shape of the room to be square or rectangular Interior decoration of a square or rectangular room is easy to be done as per Vaastu
It is auspicious to have the main door of the room on the left in a south-facing room and on the right side in the north-facing room
The place of worship can be anywhere in the room. It is not necessary to make it in the north-east zone
The bed should be kept in such a way that the headboard is in the south and the legs should be in the north while sleeping. It is believed to be beneficial for health
If the bed has some storage space, then store only off-seasonal clothes in it
A small bed can be kept beneath the bed for the children, which they can use as an extra bed
The bed should be kept in such a way that it is used from both sides. It should never be along the wall. If the bed is along the wall from one side it disturbs the harmony between couples
It is considered inauspicious to sleep with the legs pointing in the direction of the door
There should not be any beam, loft or fan just above the bed. This increases mental tension. An overhead tank above the bedroom is also considered inauspicious

Agarden balcony, terrace or even a place to put a few plants, there are many ways to up the style quotient of such an area. With a little imagination, a verandah or balcony can become a striking feature of your home, drawing attention away from the interior of the house, and creating a feel of extra space.
    Balconies do not merely have to be restricted to a space for drying clothes. They can be designed to make a pleasant getaway for city dwellers in need of space and fresh air.
    Most of us, however, tend to ignore our verandahs or balconies while decorating the house. As a result the space becomes an ideal place for drying clothes or to keep knick-knacks in the corner. If the space is designed properly, your verandah or balcony can double as your private getaway.
    Generally it's a common perception to consider a balcony and verandah as the same. The difference is a balcony is an outside area attached to an inside room of a house, apartment, flat or other building. It is usually accessible from inside the house. Balconies are usually built in multi-storey buildings, to provide a small outdoor living area for units or apartments that are above ground level.
    While decorating your verandah or balcony you must remember that it has access to three critical aspects - the sun, the wind and the rain. You ought to make sure while decorating it that it is functional so you can enjoy all the three natural elements without being affected by them i.e. without getting sunburn, feeling cold or getting wet.
    In a small space, every inch counts, so make sure you plan it well. Make sure the scale of the various built elements and furnishings is appropriate to the size of your overall space.
    Use 'layering' (foreground, middle ground, background) to create the illusion of greater size and depth within your balcony.
    Since verandahs are open on three sides and walled on one side, you have the advantage of getting as much natural light as possible. For the nights, you can use small lamps or niches or electronic diffused lamps. You can also place a small coffee table and an armchair or a rocking chair to enjoy your evening.
Furniture
    Space permitting, furniture could also be coordinated for the outdoorsy look. There are the space-saving folding stools and chairs that could serve double duty inside as well as outside. A garden swing is, of course, the most preferred piece of furniture for those who have the space. Hammocks can be strung up on a need-to-use basis, giving the whole 'laidback' feel to your verandah or garden.
    If your balcony is large enough one can also recreate a miniature garden by placing synthetic grass and potted plants in a corner. But ensure that the space is not cluttered with too many potted plants and see to it there is an outlet for water to flow smoothly to avoid any sort of leakages.
    Alternatively, a small balcony in a smaller apartment can serve as a playroom for kids, or a quiet place to meditate, a study (if well protected from the dust, sun and rain) or a dressing room (if covered with opaque glass), a store room or a private lounge! So all you need to do is to let your creativity run free.
