Across the top eight cities, home launches dipped to 19.46 per cent in the first quarter of 2017, from 28,428 units to 22,897 units. The demand and new launches of residential projects slowed down in Q1, owing to the impact of demonetisation on the real estate sector, which tapered down faster than expected, it added. “The real estate sector in India, especially housing, is going through a critical transition phase post demonetisation, as transaction activity has slowed down,” PropEquity founder and CEO Samir Jasuja said.
