How Orris Group is Building the Future of Real Estate, One Data Point at a Time
Replacing Guesswork with Data-Driven Precision
Unlike conventional construction workflows, the ED-S system treats each project as a living data ecosystem. The idea is simple but powerful: collect, analyse, and act on real-time data throughout the life cycle of a project — from soil testing and structural design to post-occupancy energy use.
This approach is anticipated to yield significant results. Construction timelines will shorten by up to 30%, material wastage will reduce by 20%, and commercial projects will show a 40% drop in carbon emissions.
Intelligent Buildings for a Changing City
The real power of ED-S becomes more visible after construction. In Orris Group's Entertainland Mall in Sector 83, machine learning tools analysed five years of footfall data from comparable properties to guide space planning. Retailers in the revamped layout have seen up to 22% higher visibility, while energy efficiency improved by 15% through optimised natural lighting.
Across Orris Group's residential projects, ED-S will continue to push the envelope with features such as facades that adapt to temperature changes, maintenance alerts generated before issues become visible, and smart community apps that help manage electricity and water use based on user patterns. These aren't futuristic ideas anymore. They are quietly becoming part of everyday life for homeowners in NCR.
Sustainability, Designed from Day One
For many developers, sustainability remains a checklist. For Orris, it is part of the design DNA — enabled by ED-S. ED-S also plays a role in material selection. With a database of over 5,000 construction material combinations, it helps engineers choose building elements that age better, require less maintenance, and are more resilient to climate fluctuations.
Transparent Construction in the Digital Age
For many homebuyers, the biggest concern is trust — in timelines, quality, and delivery. To address this, Orris Group has embedded transparency into its ED-S interface. Buyers will now be able to access live drone footage from construction sites, track progress through blockchain-based milestones, and explore interactive 3D walkthroughs that reflect real-time specifications.
This shift has contributed to a significant milestone: more than 400 homes handed over on time in 2023, including the widely appreciated Orris Gateway commercial project.
The Larger Impact on NCR's Growth Story
Beyond buildings, Orris Group believes that ED-S could have long-term implications for how cities expand and operate. Properties developed using ED-S have appreciated 12 to 15% faster than their conventional counterparts. Over 600 families now live in homes that adapt to their needs. In 2024 alone, Orris Group's work was recognised with several renowned awards in the real estate sector.
As the region prepares for a new phase of urban expansion, Orris Group's data-led model offers a glimpse into what the future of real estate might look like — efficient, sustainable, and responsive to its residents.

MORNING BID EUROPE-Tariff imprint spied in US CPI
A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Kevin Buckland The investing world will be watching U.S. factory inflation on Wednesday, after consumer price data pulled Wall Street back from all-time highs overnight, with Fed predictions of tariff-induced inflationary effects starting to be realized. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq - and by extension, MSCI's world equities index - retreated from record peaks after traders shaved back bets of U.S. rate cuts this year as prices rose for things such as coffee and couches, while staying steady for tariff-exempted items such as cars. That swung the spotlight squarely onto producer price data due later today, which could reveal an even bigger building of price pressures, because businesses may still be holding back on passing higher costs to consumers. This validates Fed Chair Jay Powell's repeated assertion that an expected emergence of tariff-led inflation uptick this summer is cause to hold off on further interest rate cuts for now. Traders were listening, trimming back bets to 43 basis points of cuts over the rest of the year, from closer to 50 basis points earlier in the week. President Donald Trump's reading of the data was different though, as he took to his Truth Social platform to post, "Consumer Prices LOW. Bring down the Fed Rate, NOW!!!" Trump has repeatedly railed against the Fed for not cutting rates, even calling for Powell's resignation, which has fuelled concerns that the U.S. President aims to put the Fed under his thumb. Powell's tenure ends in May next year, but he has a seat on the Board of Governors until January 2028. Trump said Tuesday that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could be a candidate to replace Powell, but "because I like the job he's doing" currently, he may not end up as a contender. Bessent, meanwhile, said in an interview on Bloomberg Surveillance that a "formal process" is already starting to identify the next Fed Chair. As if that wasn't enough to keep investors busy, the U.S. earnings season has also just gotten underway. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup beat expectations on Tuesday, but were met with a mixed market response. Bank earnings due Wednesday include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, while Johnson & Johnson will give more of a snapshot of how consumers are faring. The corporate calendar by contrast is relatively quiet in Europe, where stock futures are pointing to a mixed open, and Britain's FTSE reopens after hitting an all-time peak on Tuesday only to then end the day down 0.7%, its biggest fall since post-"Liberation Day" tariff turmoil in early April. The main event will be UK consumer price data, with the consensus among economists for headline inflation to hold steady at 3.4%. Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann said on Tuesday that inflation pressures remained a challenge despite a fall in the pace of pay growth in recent months. Key developments that could influence markets on Wednesday: - UK consumer price index for June. - U.S. earnings: Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Johnson & Johnson. - U.S. industrial production, producer price index . - U.S. Federal Reserve officials speaking, including Governor Michael Barr.

Indices set for a sideways shuffle as global signals stay mixed
GIFT Nifty: GIFT Nifty July 2025 futures were trading 3.50 points higher in early trade, suggesting a flat-to-positive opening for the Nifty 50. Institutional Flows: Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) bought shares worth Rs 120.47 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 1,555.03 crore in the Indian equity market on 15 July 2025, provisional data showed. According to NSDL data, FPIs have sold shares worth Rs 6354.15 crore in the secondary market during July 2025. This follows their purchase of shares worth Rs 8466.77 crore in June 2024. Global Markets: Asian market opened on a choppy note Wednesday after US President Donald Trump claimed a preliminary trade deal with Indonesia, which surprisingly includes a 19% tariff on the countrys exports to the US. Eyes are also on Indonesias central bank, which is expected to announce its policy decision later today. Back in the US, stocks ended mostly lower on Tuesday despite early gains in tech. The S&P 500 slipped 0.4% and the Dow tumbled 0.98%, while the Nasdaq eked out a modest 0.18% rise. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq briefly touched record highs before retreating. June's consumer price index came in slightly hotter than expected, reigniting concerns that fresh tariffs could add more heat to inflation. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, consumer prices rose 2.7% year-on-year and climbed 0.3% between May and June. The data bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold off on any rate cuts for now. Tariff jitters were far from over. Trump doubled down Tuesday evening, confirming that his proposed 200% tariffs on pharmaceutical imports will kick in by month-end, alongside a broader package of trade levies. Earlier, he announced a 30% tariff on imports from Mexico and the EU. The European Union pushed back sharply and is reportedly preparing retaliatory tariffs on US products including cars and alcohol. In earnings land, Wall Streets biggest banks kicked off the season with a bang. JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo all topped Q2 profit estimates, thanks to solid performance in both consumer and investment banking segments. Domestic Market: Equity benchmarks ended a four-day losing streak with modest gains on Tuesday, as easing CPI inflation lifted investor sentiment. Hopes of a potential rate cut spurred buying interest, pushing all NSE sectoral indices into the green. After a quiet start, the market gathered pace through the day, with the Nifty closing well above 25,150, led by strength in auto, healthcare, and pharma stocks. The S&P BSE Sensex jumped 317.45 points or 0.39% to 82,570.91. The Nifty 50 index added 113.50 points or 0.45% to 25,195.80. In the past four consecutive trading sessions, the Sensex and the Nifty dropped 1.74% and 1.72%, respectively.

Sensex opens 69 points lower, Nifty below 25,200; HDFC Bank up 1%
Benchmark stock market indices opened lower on Wednesday, dragged by auto and metal sector stocks as caution prevailed in the market despite seeing an uptick in the last sesion. The S&P BSE Sensex was down by 197.64 points to 82,373.27, while the NSE Nifty50 lost 61.80 points to 25,134.00 as of 9:28 am. Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said that the market has been oscillating in a narrow range during the last two months."A breakout above the upper band of the range, well beyond Nifty 25500, needs positive triggers. Such a trigger may come from an India-US trade deal with tariffs on India pegged at around 20 percent. If this happens, can it trigger a sustained rally in the market? Unlikely," he added. A sustained rally in the market needs earnings support. There are no signs of a strong earnings support and earnings growth visibility. Two big segments of the market - IT services and consumption, particularly FMCG - are struggling with tepid earnings. There are green shoots of earnings recovery in FMCG but IT services continue to struggle. This means earnings growth for FY26 will be around 10 percent only. This is the biggest challenge being faced by the market now. Therefore, investors can be stock- specific, focusing on stocks where growth prospects and earnings visibility are bright.- Ends advertisement
