Mr. Jalan emphasized the importance of maintaining a low-interest rate regime. He believes that lower interest rates can substantially reduce the cost of borrowing for developers and homebuyers, thereby stimulating demand and enhancing the overall health of the real estate market. 'A low-interest rate environment is crucial for the real estate sector, as it directly impacts the affordability and accessibility of housing,' Mr. Jalan explained.
The real estate sector has been facing several hurdles, including a slowdown in demand, higher costs, and regulatory changes. The ongoing economic uncertainty due to global events has further exacerbated these challenges. However, industry experts like Mr. Jalan remain optimistic about the sector’s potential for recovery, provided that supportive measures are introduced.
One of the primary concerns for the real estate sector is the availability of credit. Mr. Jalan highlighted that access to affordable credit is essential for both developers and customers. 'We are hopeful that the RBI will introduce measures to improve liquidity and credit availability, particularly for smaller developers who have been disproportionately affected,' he said.
Another critical area of focus is the implementation of policies that can enhance transparency and trust in the real estate market. The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) has been a significant step in this direction, but there is still room for improvement. 'We believe that the RBI’s policy can play a pivotal role in ensuring that the regulatory framework continues to evolve and support the sector’s growth,' Mr. Jalan added.
Golden Growth Fund (GGF) is a category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) that specializes in real estate investments. The fund aims to provide investors with high returns by investing in carefully selected real estate projects. GGF has a strong track record of delivering value to its investors and is committed to promoting sustainable growth in the real estate sector.
In addition to low-interest rates and improved credit availability, Mr. Jalan also emphasized the need for initiatives that can boost consumer confidence. 'Creating a conducive environment for homebuyers is crucial. This includes policies that can simplify the home-buying process, reduce transaction costs, and provide incentives for first-time buyers,' he noted.
The upcoming monetary policy is expected to address these concerns and more. The RBI has a history of taking proactive measures to support various sectors of the economy, and the real estate sector is no exception. Mr. Jalan and other industry leaders are optimistic that the policy will include measures that can drive growth, enhance stability, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the real estate market.
As the real estate sector continues to navigate through these challenges, the support from the RBI and other regulatory bodies will be instrumental in its recovery and growth. The industry remains optimistic and is keenly awaiting the outcomes of the upcoming monetary policy to see how these expectations will be met.
