Delhi Air Pollution: Real Estate Concerns

Real estate bodies have expressed their concerns about the severe air pollution in Delhi-NCR after the implementation of GRAP III (Graded Response Action Plan) to combat pollution levels. The Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) has issued an advisory highlighting the adverse effects of air pollution on the health of residents and the real estate sector.

Delhi-NCR has been grappling with high levels of air pollution, especially during the winter months. The implementation of GRAP III, which includes stricter measures to control pollution, has raised concerns among real estate developers. The measures include restrictions on construction activities, the closure of certain industries, and a ban on diesel generator sets.

CREDAI, a prominent real estate body, has urged its members and developers to take necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of air pollution. The advisory emphasizes the need for developers to adopt sustainable construction practices, including better waste management and use of eco-friendly building materials. It also encourages the implementation of green initiatives such as rooftop gardens and air purifiers in common areas.

The adverse effects of air pollution on the health of residents have been a major concern. Studies have linked exposure to high levels of air pollution with respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and increased mortality rates. Real estate developers are worried that such concerns could impact the demand for residential properties in the Delhi-NCR region.

CREDAI's advisory aims to create awareness and encourage responsible practices among developers and residents alike. It emphasizes the importance of regular monitoring of indoor air quality and the installation of air purifiers in homes and offices. It also advises residents to use public transportation, carpool, or opt for electric vehicles to reduce vehicular emissions.

The real estate sector is one of the major contributors to pollution, with construction activities and energy consumption being significant factors. CREDAI's advisory suggests the adoption of energy-efficient practices, such as the use of solar panels and LED lighting, to reduce the sector's carbon footprint.

While the implementation of stricter measures like GRAP III may pose short-term challenges for the real estate sector, it also presents an opportunity for developers to embrace sustainable and environment-friendly practices. By prioritizing the well-being of residents and the reduction of pollution, the sector can contribute to a healthier and greener future for Delhi-NCR.

In conclusion, the concerns raised by real estate bodies regarding the severe air pollution in Delhi-NCR after the implementation of GRAP III highlight the need for responsible and sustainable practices in the sector. The advisory by CREDAI serves as a reminder of the harmful effects of pollution and encourages developers and residents to take necessary actions to combat air pollution and promote a healthier environment.
