Mr. Mohit Goel, Managing Director of Omaxe says, “Budget 2025-26 lays a robust foundation for India’s real estate landscape, with a strong focus on infrastructure-led growth and housing affordability. The ₹10 lakh crore asset monetization plan, coupled with the ₹1 lakh crore Urban Challenge Fund, will accelerate urban redevelopment and boost commercial real estate. The expansion of MSME credit will create fresh demand for office spaces, retail hubs, and warehousing, strengthening the backbone of India’s commercial sector. Additionally, the ₹10,000 crore Fund of Funds for Startups and the increase in credit guarantee cover from ₹10 crores to ₹20 crores will empower new businesses, further driving demand for co-working spaces, innovation hubs, and commercial leasing, boosting commercial real estate in metro and Tier-2 cities. At the same time, the ₹15,000 crore SWAMIH Fund 2 will fast-track the completion of 1 lakh affordable homes, giving a much-needed push to housing accessibility. With income tax relief and TDS/TCS reforms putting more money in the hands of the middle class, including salaried individuals and senior citizens, housing demand is set to rise. Furthermore, the introduction of social security measures for gig workers marks a progressive step toward financial inclusion. Collectively, these initiatives position the real estate sector for sustained growth, driving both economic expansion and urban transformation.”
