It is the beginning of a different chapter—one where the question...

For years, building near an airport has meant navigating a regulatory maze where a single question could reshape an entire project: How high can you build? For developers, architects and housing societies, the answer has often arrived too late in the planning process. A project could be designed, engineered and submitted for approvals, only to face a height-related objection from aviation authorities...

Over the past two years, residential CCTV systems have become as common as WiFi routers in Indian apartment complexes. From Noida's sprawling residential colonies to Ranchi's emerging developments, apartment associations...

When buying property in India, buyers are often asked to pay some money even before a formal agreement is signed.
