Can Union Budget 2025 fix larger real estate problems?

Can Union Budget 2025 fix the larger problems afflicting the business of Indian real estate? This question is more relevant than asking to what extent the Union Finance Minister will fulfill the wishes of the sector. This is because the real estate has largely been ignored, heavily taxed, and least considered in the budget of last few years. Irony is that for some strange reasons the stakeholders who have a large wish list on the eve of Union Budget every year, justify the sector being ignored in the post budget analysis.

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.

Isn’t it ironic that in a country where housing shortage is at the core of policy debates, housing surplus in top Indian cities is juxtaposed to that. As a matter of fact, the reality of unsold housing units poses an even greater degree of imbalance than the housing shortage.
