“Affordable housing is an attractive proposition both, for developers and consumers, as the demand is huge and largely unmet. The high focus of the central government, has resulted in the availability of more funding options for the developers such as ECB, FDI and debt financing, from national financial institutions at highly competitive rates. However, there are challenges for affordable housing projects in tier-I cities, where land costs and availability within established locations are very difficult,” Cushman & Wakefield India’s managing director, Anshul Jain said.
Hyderabad saw a jump of 813 per cent in new affordable launches during the period under review, followed by Mumbai with 331 per cent. Kolkata witnessed a marginal rise of five per cent. Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi-NCR and Pune witnessed a decline in new launches in the segment.
