However, Delhi NCR-based listed real estate developer DLF Limited has expressed a contrarian view. The company's MD and CEO, Ashok Tyagi, stated in an investors' call that the removal of indexation benefits will not have a major impact on sales. According to Tyagi, the change in the capital gains tax regime will not significantly affect the sales behavior in the real estate sector.
This statement comes despite concerns from real estate experts that the new norms may take a toll on the sales in the sector. The removal of indexation benefits is expected to increase the tax liability for investors, which may discourage them from investing in the real estate sector.
DLF Limited has reported a 23% YoY jump in its net profit to Rs 646 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The company has also given a sales guideline of Rs 17,000 crore for the financial year 2024-25. DLF's sales bookings have jumped over three-fold to Rs 6,404 crore during the first quarter of this fiscal.
The company's optimistic outlook on sales is in contrast to the concerns raised by real estate experts. Experts believe that the new norms may benefit those who are investing in high-growth markets, but may negatively impact those who are buying properties for end-use or moderate capital gains.
