Other notable losers included Godrej Properties Ltd, Sunteck Realty Ltd, and Macrotech Developers Ltd, which saw their shares decline by 1.5%, 0.64%, and 0.04%, respectively. However, Brigade Enterprises Ltd and Sobha Ltd managed to buck the trend, with their shares rising by 1.73% and 1.66%,
respectively. The broader market also reflected this downturn, with the BSE SmallCap index decreasing by 0.02% to 53820.76 and the BSE 150 MidCap Index slipping by 0.3% to 16059.08. The Nifty 50 index also fell by 0.18% to 24369.45, while the BSE Sensex index declined by 0.24% to 79952.61. On the BSE, 2060 shares were trading in green, 1781 were trading in red, and 119 were unchanged. The Indian real estate sector is closely tied to the country's economic performance, and this downturn could be a reflection of the current economic uncertainty.
However, it is essential to note that the real estate sector has been facing challenges in recent years, including a liquidity crisis, high inventory levels, and a decline in demand. The Maharashtra government's decision to ask Karnataka to release more water from the Almatti dam could also have contributed to the downturn, as it may impact the construction and development of real estate projects in the region.
