How to make housing more affordable?

No one has got a clear answer to the core of the problems and every industry  stakeholder has his own point of view. However, the economies of scale suggests it definitely helps the developers to undertake cost-effective measures since material procurement happens at a group level. This gives large developers an advantage over other smaller developers and projects. Also, the duration of construction has an impact on the cost. The developers must ensure the completion of projects on time, which could help us sell the properties at a faster pace and keep the cost under control.

As we progress into 2024, we anticipate that both sales and new property launches will sustain the sector’s buoyancy. Despite the potential challenges posed by escalating land costs and limited funding options for early-stage projects, the robust underlying market fundamentals are expected to propel residential activity well above the average trend witnessed in the previous five years.

Real estate victim or guilty of snail-paced manufacturing?

The question is what needs to be done. Or in other words, how could real estate consume more out of ‘Make in India’ manufacturing? The question in itself is flawed, if not in sync with the larger eco system issues. Setting up and making a manufacturing unit in India comes with its own challenges. Cheap labour alone would not give India any edge or cost arbitrage over the export items. ‘Make in India’ has to move beyond the rhetoric of nationalism and reforms have to be introduced at each and every level, ranging from lower corporate tax to labour laws and making the country a happy hunting ground for the manufacturers of the world.
