Pune: In a strong endorsement of Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi\u2019s recent appeal to prioritise national interest amid the evolving geopolitical situation in West Asia \u2014 including reducing non-essential foreign travel, conserving fuel and foreign exchange, and promoting domestic spending \u2014 the Confederation of Real Estate Developers\u2019 Associations of India (CREDAI) has decided to
\nshift the 23rd edition of its flagship convention, NATCON 2026, from Amsterdam to India.
\nThe decision has been taken in the spirit of national solidarity and in alignment with the larger sentiment of standing firmly with the nation and the vision articulated by Hon\u2019ble
\nPrime Minister. At a time when India is moving forward with confidence, self-belief, and a renewed spirit of national pride, CREDAI believes that institutions representing key sectors of the economy must also reflect the same commitment towards the country and
\nits priorities.
\nCREDAI will shortly identify and announce the Indian host destination for NATCON 2026 along with revised programme details. The decision reflects CREDAI\u2019s commitment to the Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister\u2019s vision of placing \u201cNation First\u201d and
\nsupporting India\u2019s economic resilience during a period of global uncertainty. By hosting the country\u2019s largest real estate sector\u2019s convention in India, CREDAI aims to ensure
\nthat the economic and tourism benefits associated with an event of this scale directly
\ncontribute to the domestic economy, hospitality sector, local businesses, and allied industries.
\nCREDAI NATCON witnesses\u2019 participation from over 1,000 leading developers, investors, policymakers, architects, consultants, and industry stakeholders from across
\nthe country. Traditionally hosted at an international destination every year, NATCON
\nserves as CREDAI\u2019s flagship annual platform for dialogue on real estate, urban infrastructure, construction technologies, sustainable development, smart cities, and India\u2019s evolving growth story.
\nThis year, however, CREDAI has chosen to align the event with the broader national sentiment and the Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister\u2019s call to strengthen domestic economic activity and encourage spending within the country. The move is also expected to boost
\ndomestic tourism, create opportunities for Indian hospitality and event industries, and showcase India\u2019s rapidly evolving infrastructure and urban development capabilities on
\na national platform.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the decision, Mr. Shekhar Patel, President, CREDAI National, said, \u201cIn line with the Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister\u2019s call for responsible action and prioritising national interest amid the evolving geopolitical situation, CREDAI has decided to host
\nNATCON in India instead of Amsterdam this year. Despite months of preparations for the overseas event, this decision reflects the real estate sector\u2019s commitment to supporting domestic economic activity, national growth, and economic resilience. The industry is also facing significant challenges, including rising construction material costs and labour shortages, making it even more important for all sectors to collectively strengthen the Indian economy. As an industry deeply linked to employment generation, infrastructure development, and economic growth, CREDAI remains
\ncommitted to contributing meaningfully towards India\u2019s long-term development and self-reliance goals.\u201d
\nMr. Ranjit Naiknavare, Vice President, CREDAI National, said, \u201cNATCON has grown over the years into a defining annual platform for the real estate sector, bringing
\ntogether over 1,000 developers and stakeholders to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and strengthen industry-wide collaboration. It is also a space where local chapters organise curated knowledge and study tours alongside the convention, with Pune being one of the early cities to initiate this culture of structured industry learning several years ago.
\nTraditionally, NATCON has been hosted outside India to allow members to step away from day-to-day business pressures, ensuring complete focus and uninterrupted
\nengagement, while also enabling meaningful exposure to global markets. These international editions have helped participants interact with foreign developers, architects, policymakers, and urban experts, offering valuable insights into global best
\npractices and encouraging developers\u2014especially from Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities\u2014to broaden their perspectives beyond their immediate environment.
\nThis year, in line with the Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister\u2019s appeal to prioritise national interest and strengthen domestic economic activity, we have decided to host NATCON in India.
\nThis decision reflects our collective responsibility as an industry that is deeply tied to nation-building. By bringing the convention home, we are not only supporting domestic economic momentum but also showcasing India\u2019s growing capabilities in real estate, infrastructure, and urban development. We remain committed to ensuring that NATCON continues to deliver the same depth of learning, exposure, and collaboration
\nwhile contributing to the larger vision of Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
