The countdown to Budget 2026-27 intensifies, with real estate experts outlining a roadmap for revival. Core demands include elevating affordable housing norms, ramping up urban spending, and launching asset tokenization – measures to fuel growth in a high-price era.
Affordability is the buzzword as costs escalate. Pushing the cap beyond Rs 45 lakh to Rs 1 crore would ignite a project pipeline, empowering middle-income buyers. This strategic tweak could slash waiting lists, boost sales, and invigorate ancillary industries like steel and cement.
Urban infrastructure can’t wait. Tackling pollution, water scarcity, and garbage crises requires substantial outlays. Fortified cities mean happier residents and bullish markets, luring domestic and global funds. Experts envision a future of seamless mobility and eco-smart habitats.
Enhance loan tax benefits, reward green initiatives, and tokenize assets for fractional ownership. Like SIPs revolutionizing mutual funds, tokenization could make realty inclusive, with apps enabling tiny stakes in prime properties.
History in the making: Sitharaman’s February 1 Sunday unveil at 11 AM revives post-2000 weekend tradition, akin to 2025 and 2015. The sector hopes for a budget that champions equity, sustainability, and cutting-edge finance.
