Orris Group & Engineering Data Systems (ED-S): Pioneering Smart Infrastructure with Data-Driven Engineering
New Delhi [India], June 24: The real estate sector is transforming quietly as developers increasingly turn to data-driven approaches to enhance construction quality, accelerate project timelines, and improve buyer experiences. Leading this charge in North India is Orris Group, which has implemented Engineering Data Systems (ED-S) across its projects to bring unprecedented precision and efficiency to home-building.
At Greenbay, a project by Orris Group and the flagship development along the Yamuna Expressway, ED-S technology is going to be implemented to optimize the processes. The system will collect and analyse real-time data from thousands of sensors embedded in at the site itself. This allows engineers to monitor concrete curing temperatures, structural load distribution, and even environmental factors affecting build quality. This will result in ascertaining the percentage reduction in construction timelines while simultaneously improving quality control metrics compared to conventional methods.
"ED-S is our bid to quicken the pace of construction, improving quality and ensuring timely delivery, Orris Group has adopted the data-driven approach in a big way. We are one of the pioneers in data adoption, have adopted ED-S or Engineering Data System to not only build smart homes but also improve buyers' experience," says Vishal Sabharwal, Sales Head - Orris Group.
What makes Orris Group's implementation of ED-S particularly noteworthy is how the technology enhances the buyer experience. Prospective homeowners will receive regular digital updates showing their unit's exact construction phase, complete with quality assurance data and 3D progress visualizations. This transparency represents a significant departure from the traditional real estate model, where buyers often remained in the dark about construction details until possession day.
The technology also plays a crucial role in creating smarter homes. Future projects of Orris Group will integrate ED-S with building management systems to optimize energy usage based on historical consumption patterns and weather data. It is anticipated that the residents will enjoy 15-20% reductions in electricity bills post the system's implementation. The same technology monitors structural health post-occupancy, alerting maintenance teams to potential issues before they become visible problems.
Market analysts note that Orris Group's early adoption of ED-S gives them a competitive edge in Delhi-NCR's crowded real estate market. In an era where buyers are increasingly tech-savvy and quality-conscious, this level of data transparency and construction precision is becoming a key differentiator.
However, implementing such sophisticated technology hasn't been without challenges. Orris had to invest significantly in training its workforce and recalibrating traditional construction processes. The transition required changing decades-old mindsets about how buildings get made. But the improvements in efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction will make it worthwhile.
As Orris prepares to implement ED-S across its entire project pipeline, the implications for the broader real estate market are becoming clear. The group's success demonstrates how data-driven construction can simultaneously benefit developers through efficiency gains and buyers through improved quality and transparency. With the real estate sector increasingly focused on execution quality and customer trust, Orris Group's ED-S implementation may well represent the future of responsible, tech-enabled development in India.

Trump deals bring some clarity for world's manufacturing base
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads After months of uncertainty, President Donald Trump 's latest tariff deals are providing clarity on the broad contours of a new trade landscape for the world's biggest manufacturing on Tuesday announced a deal with Japan that sets tariffs on the nation's imports at 15%, including for autos — by far the biggest component of the trade deficit between the countries.A separate agreement with the Philippines set a 19% rate, the same level as Indonesia agreed and a percentage point below Vietnam's 20% baseline level, signaling that the bulk of Southeast Asia is likely to get a similar rate.'We live in a new normal where 10% is the new zero and so 15% and 20% doesn't seem so bad if everyone else got it,' said Trinh Nguyen, senior economist for emerging Asia at Natixis. At a 15%-20% tariff level, it's still profitable for US companies to import from abroad rather than produce similar goods at home, she US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he'll meet his Chinese counterparts in Stockholm next week for their third round of talks aimed at extending a tariff truce and widening the discussions. That suggests a continuing stabilization in ties between the world's two largest economies after the US recently eased chip curbs and China resumed rare earths exports.'We're getting along with China very well,' Trump told reporters on Tuesday. 'We have a very good relationship.'Throw it all together and a level of predictability is finally emerging after six months of tariff threats that had at one point jacked up tariff levels to 145% on China and near 50% on some smaller Asian exporters. Investors cheered the moves, with Asian shares rising the most in a month and contracts for the S&P 500 up 0.2%. The Nikkei-225 index in Japan jumped 3.2%, with Toyota Motor Corp. and other carmakers leading the gains.'What's been interesting to me is that equity markets still have been fairly rosy about the changes,' Albert Park, chief economist at the Asian Development Bank, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. 'I'm not sure they've priced in fully all of the effects that are likely to occur from the disruption of higher tariff rates.'Back in April, Trump hit the pause button on the steepest levies after a rare combination of weakening US stocks, bonds and the dollar showed investors were unnerved by his protectionist salvos. That bought time for policymakers from Tokyo, Manila and across the globe to negotiate more palatable the latest deals bring some relief, key questions remain. The Trump administration is still considering a range of sectoral tariffs on goods like semiconductors and pharmaceuticals that will be critical for Asian economies including Taiwan and India — both of which have yet to announce tariff agreements with the Korea is also more exposed to sectoral tariffs, even though the Japan deal provides a potential template for new President Lee Jae Trump moves quickly on talks with countries accounting for the bulk of the US trade deficit, he has said he may hit around 150 smaller countries with a blanket rate of between 10% and 15%.With some certainty on tariff levels now emerging, businesses with complex supply chains across Asia and still reliant of the US consumer can start to game out how they'll shift operations to minimize the hit to like the first trade war in 2018, the latest tariff announcements are likely to spur companies to increasingly shift production outside of China. The average tariff rate on the world's second-largest economy remains the highest in the region, and continued White House pressure on the nation's technology and trade ambitions means companies may find more stability and industry groups have been flagging for months that uncertainty is worse than tariffs for investment. The manufacturing sector across the ASEAN region saw the most notable weakening since August 2021, according to S&P PMI, led by a sharper decrease in new orders, major job cuts and weaker purchasing front-loading of shipments from Asia to the US to get ahead of the incoming levies will likely slow once the new rates kick in. While there's relief that tariff rates for Southeast Asian economies and 15% for Japan are lower than some of Trump's earlier threats, the reality is that they're far higher than they were before he took latest deals 'continue the trend of tariff rates gravitating towards the 15-20% range that President Trump recently indicated to be his preferred level for the blanket rate instead of 10% currently,' Barclays Plc analysts including Brian Tan wrote in a note. That skews risks to GDP growth forecasts for Asia 'to the downside,' they US consumers who have so far been spared the tariff ticket shock, economists warn there's likely to be some pass through in the months ahead. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. economists now expect the US baseline 'reciprocal' tariff rate will rise from 10% to 15% — an outcome that threatens to fuel inflation and weigh on economic Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has argued he wants to see where tariffs land and how they filter through the economy before cutting interest rates — much to the annoyance of now, the US president is hailing a win on trade, and investors seem overall relieved.'I just signed the largest trade deal in history — I think maybe the largest deal in history — with Japan,' Trump said at an event at the White House on Tuesday after announcing the deal on social media. 'It's a great deal for everybody.'

ED files Fema complaint against Myntra over ₹1,654 crore FDI violation
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Wednesday said it has filed a complaint against Myntra Designs Private Limited (Myntra), its related companies, and their directors for contravention amounting to ₹1,654.35 crore, allegedly in violation of the extant Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy. The investigative agency has taken the action under Section 16(3) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA). The ED said that enquiries in the matter were initiated on the basis of credible information that Myntra and its related companies were engaged in multi-brand retail trade (MBRT) under the guise of wholesale cash-and-carry, allegedly in violation of the existing FDI policy. The ED investigation under the provisions of FEMA, 1999 revealed that Myntra Designs Pvt Ltd had declared it was engaged in wholesale cash-and-carry business and had invited and received FDI from foreign investors amounting to ₹1,654.35 crore. The firm sold a majority of its goods to Vector E-Commerce Pvt Ltd, which in turn sold the goods in retail to end customers. Vector E-Commerce Pvt Ltd and Myntra Designs Pvt Ltd are related parties and belong to the same group or group of companies. 'Vector E-Commerce Pvt Ltd was created and continued to be used as a corporate entity to bifurcate the B2C [business-to-customer, i.e. Myntra Designs Pvt Ltd to retail customers] transaction into B2B (Myntra Designs Pvt Ltd to Vector E-Commerce Pvt Ltd) and then B2C (Vector E-Commerce Pvt Ltd to retail customers),' said the ED statement. The ED further stated that its investigation also revealed Myntra Designs Pvt Ltd was actually carrying out multi-brand retail trading in the guise of wholesale cash-and-carry. The ED also noted that Myntra Designs Pvt Ltd had not met the conditions laid down for wholesale cash-and-carry trading, as it had made 100 per cent of its sales to Vector E-Commerce Pvt Ltd. This contravenes the amendments dated 1 April 2010 and 1 October 2010, which permitted only 25 per cent of sales to companies belonging to the same group or group companies.
