The project saw a huge response with 900 units sold during the pre-launch phase itself, out of 1500 units that are currently opened for bookings. Most of the customers are first time home buyers and salaried – class who are applying for home loan. The project will make Panvel as the most sought after region for affordable housing.

‘Wadhwa Wise City’ will offer a unique proposition of efficient Studio, 1 & 2 BHK apartments that will be constructed in various phases. Out of the total land holding of 450 acres, The Wadhwa Group is planning to develop 138 acres. The project has got all the approvals for the first phase in place – location clearance under ITP, Letter of intent (LOI) under ITP, Environmental Clearance for the Township, as well as, the buildings under Phase 1 along with the building CC for Phase 1 building.

Panvel is connected to both, the central and western lines, it is also known as the gateway to the Konkan region, easing commute to the other states of India. Located close to Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the Sion-Panvel Expressway, travelling to either Mumbai or Pune is quite convenient. Infrastructure Developments like the Navi Mumbai International Airport, Mumbai Trans – Harbour Link, Virar Alibaug Multi-Modal Corridor, etc are the factors driving the demand for the residential and commercial real estate in this new growth corridor.
Commenting on the Government’s affordable housing focus, Mr. Navin Makhija, Managing Director, The Wadhwa Group said, “The Government’s impetus through the PMAY Scheme is helping accomplish the Housing for All vision for people intending to reside in and around Mumbai.

Our project Wadhwa Wise City is an initiative to support the Government’s mission to provide quality affordable housing with the best of infrastructure, designs, construction quality, connectivity and the price.”
According to recent studies, there is a huge need for affordable housing across metro cities where we see a large influx of people coming, in search of jobs and a better livelihood. Supporting the economic upliftment of the region, Wadhwa Wise City is expected to create 2.5 lakh jobs at various levels.ENDS

drink technology India Tailored program for India’s beverage industry

Mumbai,  27 June,  2018 (HPN) : drink technology India (dti), the central and leading platform for the beverage, dairy and liquid food industry in India, is further expanding its reach. In the future, the trade fair will be held twice during odd-numbered years: in the spring in Bangalore (February 28 – March 2, 2019) and in the winter in New Delhi (December 5 – 7, 2019). Mumbai will remain the meeting place for the industry during even-numbered years. Focal topics will be set for the segments at the three venues and aimed at the market potential of the regions.
The trade fair changed its annual format last year as a way of responding to the market’s regional needs. dti is taking another step forward by holding two trade fairs in odd-numbered years. Bhupinder Singh, CEO of Messe München India, said: “India is a huge country. By applying the new local approach to dti, we will reach relevant visitor groups in the regions in a more systematic manner. Tap-ping this potential is a key value-added factor for our customers.”
Mumbai is the international hub for India’s beverage and liquid food industry. In even-numbered years, visitors from all parts of India will continue to see the lat-est innovations developed by companies from India and all other parts of the world, in areas that range from the production, filling and packaging of all types of beverages to liquid food. In New Delhi and Bangalore, Indian exhibitors will primarily meet visitors from these metropolitan areas. The trade fairs held in these two cities will also cover the entire product chain of the beverage and liquid food industry. But a focus will be placed on particular segments in a reflection of the different presence of individual industries. The focus of the New Delhi metropolitan region is beer, soft drinks and dairy products. Bangalore will more closely highlight juices, beer, hard liquor and food. Thanks to this regional position and the focal topics, dti will be an ideal meeting place for each particular region. Visitor potential will be optimally tapped in the process.
The Indian beverage and liquid food market
The Indian food and beverage market is growing very dynamically. Sales pro-duced by the sectors for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages like beer, wine and hard liquor are climbing sharply. The German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA)/Euro monitor International forecasts growth of more than 100 percent by 2021 for soft drinks and about 35 percent for alcoholic beverages during the same period. Sales of dairy products are expected to climb by more than 20 percent. Oils and fats will jump by about 70 percent by 2021, according to the forecast. This growth is being fueled by social change and strong economic growth.ENDS

Commemorating the 12 years of the CPhI & P-MEC India expo, the India Pharma Week will organise more than 10 events and activities pertaining to the streams of business, knowledge, leadership, innovation, recognition and networking in the field of Pharma. The week is scheduled to be packed with dynamic engagements such as Pharma Leader’s Golf, Pre-Connect Congress, Plant Visit, Women in Pharma, India Pharma Awards, Networking Evening, the CPhI & P-MEC India Exhibition, a closed-door CEO Roundtable, among others.  This will also help the magnum opus further develop and nurture a complete pharma ecosystem in the sectoral pockets of the North, also keeping in mind its power corridors.

Originally Incepted in 2006, the CPhI & P-MEC India exhibition has grown remarkably larger over the years with exhibitors and visitors from Indian and overseas engaging over significant levels of business. It has been approved and comprehensively assisted in its endeavours by governing bodies such as Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council (Pharmexcil).   The India Pharma Week with its mélange of events was launched in 2016 to celebrate CPhI &P-MEC’s ten years of existence.

Speaking on the newest development on the IPW, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said, “I am delighted to announce that the third edition of the week-long India Pharma Week will be held this year at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, Delhi NCR. The IPWis an unmatched offering to the world of exhibitions along with the CPhI & P-MEC India, UBM’s flagship engagement platform, and one of the world’s leading Pharmaceutical networking event. An elite congress such as the one we have at the IPW deserves superlative infrastructure and facilities that the chosen venue will impart. One of the core commitments of UBM worldwide is to put our customers at the heart of what we do and respond to their needs in dynamic ways. We are sure the move will prove truly beneficial and convenient for the vast magnitude of exhibitors and visitors. They will get to experience the show and all its verticals under a single roof without needing to factor in the travel and meeting logistics that the previous locations had posed.”

“The India Pharma Week stems from the proactive role it plays in driving key Governmental initiatives such as ‘Make in India’, ‘Start-Up India, Stand Up India’, and ‘Skill India’, connecting the global community to eke out solutions to challenges, and establishing superior standards within it. The shift to the Delhi-NCR region, in close geographical proximity to the Centre, policy makers, consulates and government bodies will enhance our community building efforts as well as the creation of a robust pharma eco-system,” he further added.
