One of the key areas of focus for the sector is affordable housing. The government's aim of providing 'Housing for All' by 2022 has been a major driver of growth for the sector, and industry players are hoping that the new government will continue to provide incentives and support for affordable housing projects.
Tax reforms are also high on the agenda for the sector. Industry players have been demanding rationalization of taxes, including the Goods and Services Tax (GST), to make housing more affordable for buyers. They are also expecting the government to introduce measures to reduce the cost of construction and make housing more accessible to the masses.
The sector is also hoping for measures to improve the ease of doing business in India. Industry players have been complaining about the complexity of regulations and the lack of transparency in the system, which has been hindering growth and development.
The Indian real estate sector has been one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country, driven by rapid urbanization and a growing demand for housing and commercial spaces. However, the sector has also faced several challenges, including a liquidity crisis, high inventory levels, and a dearth of affordable housing options.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is a political alliance centered around the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP has been a major player in Indian politics and has been instrumental in shaping the country's economic policies.
