The sector is expecting policies that foster sustainable growth and address key challenges facing the industry. This includes initiatives to facilitate employment, facilitate regulatory approvals, and encourage funding in low-priced housing. Supportive regulations will not only encourage investor confidence but also facilitate important infrastructure.
Measures are needed to boost cash flow within the quarter, mitigate cost burdens, and enhance tax sops for homebuyers. Introducing interest subsidy programs could incentivize potential homebuyers effectively. The government could strategically deploy its extensive land banks in partnership with private developers, offering land and capital at concessional rates. Implementing tax incentives for developers engaging in affordable projects could further stimulate activity in this sector.
The sector is also looking for policies that will enhance skill development in modern constructions, through subsidized training sessions or derive tax incentives for companies seeking to train its workforce. Initiatives to boost the digital transformation of real estate transactions, potentially by encouraging the use of blockchain technology in property registration, are also expected.
Furthermore, the sector expects policies that would help strengthen its position, including those that encourage integrated township developments, which may include allowing relaxed zoning ordinances and tax incentives. The industry also anticipates actions in relation to the discovered negative impacts that consist of encouraging strategies for structure construction particularly in areas affected by floods due to climate change.
In addition, the sector is looking for policies that will raise funds for affordable housing, including the expansion of tax incentives for first-time homebuyers and the extension of PMAY timelines. The industry also expects the government to bring down GST rates on under-construction properties to boost demand.
By prioritizing these measures, the government can catalyze a resilient recovery in the real estate sector, fortifying its role as a cornerstone of economic growth and employment generation in the post-pandemic era.
