The election period has notably influenced the numbers, with certain cities like Pune and Hyderabad experiencing fewer launches. Pune, in particular, has seen a significant decline in new housing supply, along with Hyderabad, which has witnessed a 36% plummet. On the other hand, Delhi-NCR has seen almost a doubling in supply, with new residential launches expected to jump by 95%. Bengaluru and Chennai have also seen increased activity, with 21% and 67% rises, respectively.
Samir Jasuja, CEO & MD of PropEquity, attributes the decline to the ongoing elections, stating that 'The Lok Sabha elections have significantly impacted new housing supply. The quarter saw a 7% decline from January-March.' This decline is a result of developers waiting for the election results before launching new projects.
