Budget 2026: Real Estate Sector Seeks Support
As the Union Budget 2026 approaches, experts in India's real estate sector are hoping for policy support.
They want reforms that make housing more affordable, especially for mid-income buyers.
This includes tax breaks, clearer rules for affordable housing, and better access to housing loans.
They also want the government to invest more in infrastructure, like metro lines and expressways, to support growth in cities.
Some experts are focusing on Tier II and Tier III cities, which are becoming popular due to better infrastructure and lower prices.
They believe that continued policy support and infrastructure investment will help the real estate sector grow and create jobs.
Real estate experts seek policy clarity, affordability-focused reforms, and infrastructure investment in the Union Budget 2026.
Key expectations include tax breaks, improvements in the credit-linked subsidy framework, and clearer affordable housing norms.
Lowering GST on luxury housing is proposed to boost buyer sentiment and attract long-term investment.
Tier II and Tier III cities are highlighted for their infrastructure-led projects and affordability.
Higher tax deductions on home loan interest and REIT-friendly regulations are sought to strengthen residential and commercial demand.
