CREDAI Tamil Nadu expands network, to add five new chapters

The Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India (Credai) Tamil Nadu is set to expand its network by adding five new chapters, bringing the total to 15. This expansion includes the first editions of Credai Tamil Nadu's flagship event STATECON and FAIRBUILD 2026, both scheduled for October 2026. STATECON, a key event for the real estate and construction industry, will be held on October 11 and 12, 2026, alongside FAIRBUILD, a B2B expo for construction and building materials.

Credai Tamil Nadu's president, W.S. Habib, announced that this expansion will include chapters in Coonoor, Ooty, Kodaikanal, Vellore, Thanjavur, and Karur, marking the first time Credai will have a presence in hill stations. Habib also highlighted the absence of corruption in the sector, attributing it to the government's stance against bribes.

Looking at construction costs, Habib noted that raw material costs are rising, but the situation is better than during the war. STATECON 2026 will focus on discussions about growth drivers, expectations of new homebuyers, access to capital, policy, ease of doing business, the impact of AI and PropTech, and the role of emerging construction technologies. Habib mentioned that labor shortage will also be a topic of discussion.
