INR 2,800 Crore Worth of Properties Sold During The Great Property Sell Fest Held in Association with The Times of India
A first-of-its-kind event, hosted across Gurugram, Noida, and Panipat in association with The Times of India, the fest attracted over 15,000 property owners, investors, channel partners, and homebuyers. Attendees experienced a revolutionary real estate marketplace where both sellers and buyers took centre stage.
Organised under the unique concept of You Sell, We Buy,' the event was a one-of-a-kind real estate marketplace.
'The response at The Great Property Sell Fest has been truly encouraging. Not only did customers actively participate in selling properties worth INR 600 crore from other developers, but they also made significant investments in our projects across Gurgaon, Noida, and Panipat. It's gratifying to see the growing demand for quality, lifestyle-focused developments,' said Mr. Robin Mangla, President, M3M India.
Adding to the excitement, Mr.Ashish Jerath, President – Sales & Marketing, Smartworld Developers said, 'Our landmark projects like Smartworld One DXP and Smartworld The Edition saw exceptional bookings, while our inaugural project, Smartworld Orchard, was completely sold out, a clear reflection of the strong customer trust in our vision and delivery. This level of enthusiasm reinforces our commitment to creating thoughtfully designed, future-ready living spaces that resonate with the aspirations of today's homebuyers.'
Present at the event, Mr. Santhosh Kumar, Vice Chairman, ANAROCK Group said, 'While ANAROCK's latest data reflects some tempering in sales in the last quarter, this is more due to uncertainty caused by global headwinds. Buyer sentiment has remained robust, and we see the positive sentiment reflected in such events. I understand that the highest sales have been in premium and luxury homes by branded developers; this, too, is reflected in our latest sales data. Buyers are looking for lifestyles, not just homes.'
'The Property Sell Fest, with a choice of properties ranging from Rs. 2 Cr. to Rs. 15 Cr. has generated a lot of interest. I think the property marketplace that the fest created has gained enthusiasm amongst numerous customers, as well as top banks, together to facilitate ease of buying and closure,' said Mr. Vijay Singh, a representative from HDFC Sales Pvt. Ltd., who had a special spot for his team to interact with and help customers at the Great Property Sell Fest.
Present at the venue, Mr.Alok Ranjan Jha, Representative from Axis Bank, added, 'The Great Property Sell Fest brought together a highly engaged audience actively exploring premium and luxury real estate options. Naturally, this translated into a significant uptick in home loan enquiries, as buyers looked for credible financing partners to support their investment decisions. We are proud to be part of this vibrant ecosystem, offering tailored mortgage solutions and real-time guidance to prospective homeowners.'
'The 'You Sell, We Buy' concept is truly a game-changer, no one in the industry has attempted anything even remotely similar. It's bold, innovative, and exactly what the real estate market needed. We're proud to have been one of the biggest dealmakers at this landmark event. The scale of participation and the seamlessness of transactions prove that the future of real estate lies in creating such dynamic, inclusive platforms,' said Mr.Gaurav Kapoor, Director, Investor Clinic, one of the largest CP firms working across regions.
One of the major highlights of the fest was the array of attractive, on-the-spot gifts offered to buyers with every purchase.
Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, the event also featured high-energy entertainment, delectable food, lively performances, and a festive vibe that kept excitement levels high throughout the three days.
'I've never seen an event like this before, where such a wide range of properties and multiple banks come together under one roof. No one organises an event to sell other developers properties, but the Great Property Sell Fest has truly changed how real estate transactions happen. I sold my old property at a premium and booked a new one in Smartworld The Edition, on the spot, isn't wonderful,' said one of the customers.
Beyond the impressive numbers, the fest successfully shifted the narrative from a buyer-driven marketplace to an equal-opportunity platform for both sellers and buyers. Property owners were able to liquidate underperforming or stagnant assets at premium values, while buyers accessed exclusive, limited-period investment opportunities.
This event is expected to set the stage for a new era of real estate events in India that are more participatory, dynamic, and responsive to real market needs.

Maharashtra IT department emerges as primary cloud service provider for govt departments
Pune: Maharashtra's Information Technology Corporation Ltd (MahaIT) has become the main cloud service provider for govt departments. Senior state IT officials confirmed that several departments have already began migrating their data to MahaIT's cloud platform, marking a strategic shift in the state's data management approach. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "It is a win-win situation — departments gain peace of mind regarding data safety and security, while we strengthen our capabilities in cloud services," said an official. The move has come in the aftermath of a major controversy earlier this year when MahaIT filed a criminal complaint against a private cloud vendor and its directors over alleged extortion and threats to delete sensitive govt data. The FIR accused the firm of breaching contract terms and blocking access to services for eight departments after invoicing for undelivered services. The matter escalated to Bombay High Court, which directed affected departments to transfer their data to MahaIT's cloud. Launched under Maharashtra's 2018 public cloud policy — the first of its kind in India — the state mandated all govt departments to store data on cloud platforms, opening a Rs 200 crore opportunity for cloud service providers. However, concerns over security and vendor reliability have since prompted a greater push for in-house cloud solutions. Currently, MahaIT is in discussion with multiple departments to broaden cloud adoption on its platform, aiming to consolidate govt data under a single, secure service provider. Many departments, such as the state registration department, the agriculture department, and many others, have shifted to cloud. "There are several departments that are already using cloud services. We will reach out to all departments and put across our services,'' an IT official added.

RBI's next interest rate cut action likely in December
Reserve Bank of India may keep interest rates steady in August. However, further reduction is expected later this year. This follows a larger-than-expected cut aimed at boosting economic growth. Most institutions anticipate a rate cut in either October or December. The central bank will also lower the cash reserve ratio to inject liquidity. These measures surprised the markets. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to hold interest rates in August but possibly make yet another reduction later this year, following its greater-than-expected cut on Friday aimed at bolstering growth.A poll by ET showed that eight out of 10 institutions expect a rate cut either in October or December while two do not expect any reduction until December. All participants expect a pause in August. Nomura is the only participant anticipating a25 bps rate cut in the October and December policy reviews. The next meeting of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is scheduled for August 4-6. A basis point is 0.01 percentage RBI announced a 50 bps reduction in the key repo rate to 5.50% — against expectations of a 25 bps cut — and shifted its stance to 'neutral' from 'accommodative'.Since then, economists and market participants have been debating the extent of further rate cuts that the central bank may take and by when, given governor Sanjay Malhotra's statement that monetary policy was left with limited space to support growth after having reduced the repo rate by 100 bps since February. He added that the future course of action by the MPC will be data other factors could come into play later in the year. 'The combination of a 50 bps repo rate cut and a shift in stance to neutral is a signal that the space for policy easing has been largely exhausted,' Nomura said. 'However, the policy outlook depends on the macro outlook. Beyond an August pause, we expect the easing cycle to continue and still see 5.00% as the terminal rate.'Possible uncertainties include the June-September monsoon, US tariffs and their impact on growth and the potential for inflation to come in below projections. Despite challenges, there's room for further reduction in the RBI's repo rate, most participants said. The monsoon made landfall earlier than scheduled and while the weather office has said it will be above normal, there's been a lull in rain in some parts of the country since then. Other areas have been hit by severe RBI will also lower the cash reserve ratio by 50 bps to 3% in phases, starting September, to infuse Rs 2.5 lakh crore liquidity in the system. Both measures — the extent of the rate cut and the CRR reduction — caught the markets off guard. 'Everything that had been forecast for this calendar year happened in one policy,' a bond trader said, reflecting the market's mood after the June 6 monetary policy the governor's statement on the limited space to support growth, some economists said the RBI is not just responding to short-term data, but is also aiming to help the Indian economy grow at its full potential. Malhotra has said that the aspiration is to grow at 8%, more than 6.5% projected by the central bank for FY26.
