Union Budget 2024-25: Real Estate Sector Expectations
Real Estate News:As Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman gears up to present the first budget in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term, the real estate sector is expecting policies that will drive growth and stability. Key stakeholders from across the sector have outlined key areas they believe the government should prioritize in the upcoming budget.

Enhancing tax benefits for homebuyers, simplifying GST rates, and providing incentives for affordable housing projects are some of the expectations from the sector. The government's commitment to 'Housing for All' is commendable, and further emphasis on affordable housing initiatives is anticipated. Strengthening policies and providing additional incentives to developers engaged in affordable housing projects will ensure that more citizens can achieve their dream of homeownership.

Metro cities, particularly Mumbai, face unique challenges due to high land and construction costs. Special schemes and subsidies tailored for affordable housing in metropolitan regions can significantly bridge the gap between demand and supply. Enabling a higher flow of funds through banking and non-banking financial institutions, along with targeted measures to support the liquidity of developers, will sustain project momentum.
