This decline is attributed to the rising land and construction costs, making it less profitable for developers to invest in affordable housing projects. The trend is expected to continue in 2024, with only 179,103 units of affordable homes launched in 2023, a drop of 20% compared to 2022.
The top 8 cities that have seen a decline in affordable housing supply include Delhi-NCR, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, and Ahmedabad. The rise of luxury flats in these cities has also contributed to the decline of affordable housing supply.
Experts believe that the increasing construction costs and rising real estate prices are making it difficult for developers to invest in affordable housing projects. According to Samir Jasuja, CEO and MD of PropEquity, Several factors are contributing to this decline. Rising real estate prices (up to 50-100% in some cities over the past two years) and increasing construction costs are making affordable housing projects less profitable for developers.
The Indian real estate market has seen a significant shift towards luxury development in recent years, with many developers focusing on high-end projects. This has led to a decline in affordable housing supply, making it difficult for lower and middle-income individuals to own a home.
