The CREDAI Visakhapatnam Chapter felicitated Are Shiva Reddy, Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (AP RERA), at a ceremony held today. The event recognised Mr. Reddy’s contributions towards promoting transparency, accountability, and professionalism in the real estate sector across the State.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Reddy underscored the importance of closer collaboration between regulators and developers to strengthen consumer confidence and ensure sustainable growth. “Regulation and industry engagement go hand in hand,” he said, while outlining AP RERA’s initiatives to fast-track project approvals and protect the interests of homebuyers.

Mr. Reddy, who is the only person from the builders’ community in India to hold the post of a RERA Chairman, said his aim is to make the Authority “a friend to all” while ensuring that end-users benefit and overall development is promoted. He assured members of the builders’ fraternity that genuine issues would be resolved on a priority basis.

During the programme, the brochure for the 11th Property Expo—scheduled to be held from December 19 to 21 at Gadiraju Palace Convention Center, Visakhapatnam—was unveiled.

The ceremony concluded with the presentation of a memento to Mr. Reddy in appreciation of his efforts to enhance industry standards and encourage responsible real estate development.
