“The centre and state governments must introduce a single-window clearance system at the earliest, to avoid time and cost overruns that are impacting the growth and development of real estate sector in India,” Rawat added. He said the government should also grant industry status to the real estate sector, to counter the apathy of banks in financing realty projects. “As for the sector, the companies in the real estate space must keep looking for long-term financial resources to become independent,” he added.
“As far as the investment growth in this sector is concerned, it touched the highest rate of 13.5 per cent in 2010 but recorded a sharp downfall till 2013, when it recorded a negative growth of about eight per cent. It picked up in 2014 to reach about three per cent and again fell in 2015,” the study stated.
