Election Blues: New Home Supply Dips 13% in Apr-Jun Quarter
Real Estate News:The ongoing general election has cast a shadow on India's real estate sector, with new home supply dipping 13% in the April-June quarter. According to PropEquity, a leading real estate data analytics firm, the fresh supply of housing units has fallen to 97,331 units across nine major cities, down from 1,11,657 units in the year-ago period.

The decline in new supply is attributed to builders launching fewer projects during the election period. Samir Jasuja, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of PropEquity, said the Lok Sabha election has led to a 7% decline in new supply compared to the January-March quarter of this year.

While Pune and Hyderabad are witnessing fewer launches, Delhi-NCR has seen a significant 95% rise in new supply to 11,118 units. Bengaluru and Chennai have also seen an increase in new launches, with 21% and 67% growth, respectively. However, Kolkata, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane have witnessed a decline in new supply.

Despite the decline in new supply, PropEquity has estimated a marginal 2% dip in housing sales during April-June 2024 to 1,19,901 units from 1,21,856 units in the corresponding period of the preceding year.

PropEquity is a real estate data and analytics company that tracks over 1,73,000 projects of about 57,500 developers across 44 cities in India on a real-time basis.
