Abstract Recent regulatory changes have led to the transformation of Mumbai's real estate industry. Since the liberalization of India's real estate sector in 2005, Mumbai has seen an unprecedented flow of finance capital into the production and sale of new real estate to meet the city's housing needs. The prerequisite for such investments is that land be commoditized, i.e., delinked from its socio- spatial specificities so it can be traded on global financial markets. However, in a context like Mumbai, this is especially difficult because property rights are unclear, and the rules of land development uncertain. Using Mumbai as a case study, this project examines how real estate developers operationalize the imagination of commoditized land, often through narratives of the developmental hero, by describing their work as acts of heroism in a context where development would otherwise be impossible, in order to establish a market for land. An eighteen-month ethnographic study reveals that a new professional class of developers who strive to commodify land against all the odds (as opposed to effectively producing and selling new real estate), has emerged dominant against incumbent and financially responsible development firms in Mumbai. This group's struggle to follow through with the execution of projects has paradoxically resulted in several abandoned projects in the city and driven away financial investors from participating in further real estate production.

  • The Year 2019 Was a Mixed Bag of Opportunities and Challenges for the Realty Stakeholders in Mumbai
    Publication: 99acres.com Date: 11 th December 2019 Headline: #YearEnd2019: The performance of Mumbai real estate and the way forward Weblink: https://www.99acres.com/articles/yearend2019-the-performance-of-mumbai-real- estate-and-the-way-forward.html The year 2019 was a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for the realty stakeholders in Mumbai. While the State government undertook scores of measures to improve the realty sentiment in the city, the intermittent demand from homebuyers and limited avenues for external funding posed numerous challenges during the course. From the increased Floor Space Index (FSI) of 0.5 percent to the establishment of Self-Regulatory Organisations (SROs) and the amendment of Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act to expedite the construction of redevelopment projects in Mumbai , the Maharashtra government undertook various measures to augment the realty dynamics in the city. It also urged the inclusion of smaller projects under the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) to ensure transparency and faster delivery of these projects. However, despite the various growth propellers in place, the realty market in Mumbai failed to register the desired growth in 2019. The market continued to struggle with unsold inventory soaring to almost two lakh units, negative cash flows and delayed project deliveries. Though the situation improved with respect to 2018 as the homebuyers made a U-turn into the market, the lower inventory offtake was worrisome. Lack of lenders and institutional investors impeded the construction activities and the supply of preferred residential units in the city. While Grade B and C category developers announced a few housing projects in the city fringes, Grade A developers sustained the market sentiment throughout the year.

  • D-Company and the 1993 Mumbai Bombings: Rethinking a Case of ‘Crime-Terror Convergence’ in South Asia
    Mahadevan – D-company & 1993 Mumbai Bombings 54 The European Review of Organised Crime Original article D-Company and the 1993 Mumbai Bombings: rethinking a case of ‘crime-terror convergence’ in South Asia Prem Mahadevan* Abstract: In 1993, a transnational crime organization known as D-Company carried out mass-casualty terrorist bombings in Mumbai, India. The reasons for this action have been attributed to religious grievances. However, little attention has been given to the role played by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence in supporting the bombings. Taking into account what has emerged in the public domain over the last 28 years regarding ISI links with D-Company and with international jihadist groups more generally, a re-assessment of the 1993 bombings is required. Hitherto regarded as an example of ‘crime-terror convergence’, it appears that D-Company might be more aptly considered an instrument of covert action. Keywords: Terrorism, heroin, gold, intelligence, covert operations. * Prem Mahadevan is Senior Analyst, Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.

In what remains the bloodiest-ever terror incident on Indian soil, 257 civilians were killed by 12 near-synchronous explosions. The bombs had been assembled using military-grade explosive smuggled from abroad. The events of that day, Friday 12 March 1993, are considered by scholars as an example of hybridity between organized crime and political terrorism (Rollins, Wyler and Rosen, 2010: 14-16).
