At the ET Now Realty Conclave & Awards, South India Edition, Ajitesh Korupolu, Founder & CEO of ASBL, delivered a keynote on The Future of Indian Cities. His presentation outlined how real estate is shaping Indias economic growth, how planned development can transform urban life, and why Hyderabad stands out as a model city for the future. Ajitesh Korupolu - Founder & CEO, The ET Now Realty Conclave & Awards 2025 - South Edition Real Estate: Indias Growth Engine Ajitesh Korupolu emphasized that real estate is far more than a sector, it is Indias economic engine. Today, it contributes 8.75% to GDP and is projected to reach 13-15% by 2030, making it a US$1 trillion industry. Every 1% of GDP invested in infrastructure generates double the economic returns and over 1.3 million jobs, highlighting the sectors multiplier effect. Already the second-largest employer after agriculture, real estate supports 71 million jobs, expected to rise to 100 million by 2030, with over 250 industries linked to its demand. A Clear Income Ladder Unlike other sectors, real estate construction offers upward economic mobility for Indias workforce. Average monthly wages in agriculture range from Rs. 9,800-Rs. 11,800, and in manufacturing Rs. 16,000-Rs. 20,000. In contrast, construction workers earn Rs.27,000-Rs.35,000, making the sector one of the strongest pathways for income growth and livelihood security. Market Confidence & Infrastructure Wins According to the ANAROCK Homebuyer Sentiment Survey (H1 2025), 63% of respondents ranked real estate as their top investment choice, ahead of traditional assets like fixed deposits, gold, and equities. The market has mirrored this sentiment with record office absorption of 79 msf in 2024 and decade-high housing sales and launches. Furthermore, India is set to witness Rs. 17.5 lakh crore (~US$212 billion) in combined investments across real estate, roads, and renewables, marking a 15% year-on-year jump. Hyderabads Urban Advantage A highlight of the presentation was the Urban Rush Hour Clock. Hyderabad emerged as the metro with the least rush-hour congestion compared to other Indian cities. This advantage translates into time saved for families, higher productivity for businesses, and overall quality-of-life improvements, positioning Hyderabad as one of the most commuter-friendly metros in India. The Future is Planned Cities Ajitesh Korupolu outlined a blueprint for the future of Indian cities through planned urban ecosystems. Cities must integrate daily needs, schools, hospitals, shops, and offices within neighborhoods. Cleaner and greener infrastructure with cycling tracks, footpaths, and renewable energy adoption is essential. By designing for walkability, families gain more time together, while local businesses thrive as increased foot traffic boosts retail visibility and sales. Global and Indian Examples Real-life global and domestic case studies reinforced his vision: Chennai: 100 km of footpaths shifted 29% of trips from cars to walking, cutting 12,000 tonnes of CO annually, the equivalent of removing 2,900 cars. Times Square, New York: Roads converted into pedestrian plazas reduced accidents by 40% and boosted retail sales by 11%. Nordhavn, Copenhagen: The five-minute city concept ensures that schools, cafs, parks, and transit are always within walking distance. Building Better Together Closing his address, Korupolu stressed the importance of collaborative governance. Governments, he said, must act as referees, not players, setting broad rules, ensuring property rights, utilities, and dispute resolution while empowering private and community initiatives to design and adapt cities. Competition among private developers is the key to better design, sustainability, and resilience. He noted that while cities like Mumbai once struggled due to infrastructure gaps, today, with metros, roads, and airports catching up, the momentum is shifting in the right direction. Conclusion Real estate is central to Indias economic future, its social progress, and its urban livability. From creating millions of jobs and offering higher wages, to enabling sustainable infrastructure and reducing congestion, the sector holds the key to shaping Indias next-generation cities. With Hyderabad already leading the way, India has the opportunity to build cities that are global benchmarks in both growth and quality of life.

ATC system glitch delays over 800 flights in Delhi's IGI airport; AAI addresses tech issue
Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) plunged into chaos on Friday, as more than 800 domestic and international flights were delayed due to the air traffic control system's technical issue, which was later addressed by the AAI. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) also said that due to some backlogs, there may be some delays in the normal functioning of automated operations, but the situation will be normal soon. All airline operations at the IGIA -- which is the country's busiest airport -- were impacted due to a technical issue in the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS), which supports air traffic control data. Sources said more than 800 flights were delayed, and at least 20 flights were cancelled. The national capital's Indira Gandhi International Airport handles more than 1,500 flight movements daily. The AAI, in a post on X at 8:56 pm, said it has addressed the echnical issue in the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS), which caused delays in processing flight plan messages. The issue was detected in the IP-based AMSS system on November 6. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) was engaged, and additional staff were deployed to manually process Flight Plans for the Air Traffic Control system to ensure uninterrupted and safe air traffic operations immediately. A team of ECIL officials and AAI personnel is still on site. The AMSS systems are up and functional now. Due to some backlogs, there may be some delays in the normal functioning of automated operations, but the situation will be normal soon, the AAI said in another post on X. ECIL (Electronics Corporation of India Ltd) officials from Hyderabad came to the national capital to help in addressing the technical issue. An enquiry will be conducted to find out the reasons that resulted in the technical issue, sources said. The AAI, which provides air traffic control, navigation and other services, deployed additional manpower to manually process flight plans. The technical issue was detected on November 6, and immediately, a review meeting was conducted by the Civil Aviation Secretary, along with AAI Chairman, AAI Member ANS and other officials, and necessary directions were given to address the issue, as per the AAI post. Information available on the flight tracking website Flightradar24.com showed that over 800 flights have been delayed at the airport, and the delay for departing flights is around 50 minutes at the Delhi airport. The count of flights includes arrivals as well as departures. AAI, in a statement, also said that additional manpower was deployed to manually process flight plans, ensuring continuity and safety of air traffic control operations without disruption. A dedicated team, comprising officials from Electronics Corporation of India Limited and AAI, continues to remain on-site to oversee system stability and performance, the statement said. Earlier in the day, IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air said there were delays in their flights at the Delhi airport due to an issue with the air traffic control system. According to sources, there were long queues near the boarding gates, and hundreds of passengers were waiting inside the airport terminals for flight updates. There were some issues with the AMSS that provides the information for the Auto Track System, which gives the flight plans, one of the sources said earlier. With the system issues continuing, air traffic controllers are preparing the flight plans manually with available data, which is a time-consuming process, and as a result, many flights are getting delayed, the sources said during the day. Earlier, Delhi airport operator DIAL said all airline operations at the airport are currently delayed and that the concerned authorities were working on resolving the issue at the earliest.
