We foresee more investments by FIIs, foreign investors and NRIs
The government has expressed the vision of 'Housing for all' by 2022, so in that sense the budget showcases a long-term vision. We are hoping that the government should articulate action plans that would follow their expressed intent. It was vastly anticipated that the budget would arrive at correcting the market drawbacks as a whole.
Pradeep Misra, Chairman and Managing Director, Rudrabhishek Enterprises Pvt Ltd
We have a lot of positive expectations from the upcoming Budget 2016-17. My thoughts are focussed on three major points - transparency on GST, encouraging the Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA), and REIT.
Tushad Dubash, Director, Duville Estates
We look forward to the implementation of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority Bill (RERA) which will bring in more transparency and professionalism into the sector. It is a positive move for developers with an established corporate governance practice. RERA coupled with GST and demonetisation will create a strong framework within which this industry will function.
Weathering the cash disruption
There is never a dull moment in real estate. 2016 began promisingly in comparison to 2015; however, as things stand, the year isn´t expected to end on a healthy note. A major factor for this could be attributed to the policy developments by the government, which in the short term have led to an unpredictable disruption, but in the long run are projected to augur well for the industry as a whole.
