Why transparency will define future of Indian real estate
Indian real estate is moving past its long-standing trust problem. For years, the industry treated information as something to be managed rather than shared optimistic timelines, documentation handed over only when asked, silence when things went wrong. That's changing because buyers have changed: today's homebuyers verify approvals, compare projects, and talk to other buyers before committing, and a developer who can't explain their own paperwork clearly now reads as evasive, not just unprepared.
Anand Agarwal, Managing Director of Ceratec Group, points to Pune's IT, GCC, and advanced-manufacturing base and growth corridors including Kharadi, Hinjewadi, Wakad, Balewadi, and Ravet as proof that sustained residential demand now follows employment growth, not just promotional push. He adds that regulatory reforms like MahaRERA's MahaCRITI (digitally accessible project information) are turning compliance into a genuine confidence-builder, and that stronger, more transparent developers ultimately build more resilient cities.
