We are happy that the focus of the Government is on providing affordable housing
We are happy that the focus of the Government is on providing affordable housing; the announcement to come up with 80 lakh houses under PMAY for urban and rural areas calls for a concerted effort of Government and the developers. The focus on improving transport will definitely help develop affordable houses, which is a precondition of the buyers. The Government has also said that it will work with the financial sector to reduce the cost of intermediaries, which will further streamline the process and control the cost.
