The expo provided a common forum for both the developers as well as the buyers for better understanding of the current real estate scenario.
The realty expo also saw innovative ideas being discussed at the forum. President of AREIDA, PK Sarma suggested that the Government could consider notifying Special Residential Zones in line with Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in the city to ease the erratic growth of housing demands.

He also proposed various approval processes in a single window, under e-governance and strongly vouched for the regulation of tax structure in the state.
