Haryana CM, Union Urban Development Minister Lay Foundation Stone for Gurugram Metro Phase 1; Property Market Poised for Growth
September 6, 2025: On 5th September 2025, Haryana’s Chief Minister Mr. Nayab Singh Saini and Union Urban Development Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal Khattar laid the foundation stone of Gurugram metro’s first phase.
“The metro rail project will reduce congestion and pollution in the city. This is a historic day, and this project will transform the transport infrastructure of Gurugram and boost connectivity across NCR,” said Mr. Saini while speaking at Gurugram University auditorium.
A much-awaited infrastructural development in Gurugram, the first phase of the metro, includes the construction of 15.22 km of metro rail viaduct. The first phase, spanning 28.5 km in length, will connect Millennium City Centre to Sector 101 of Gurugram, passing through 13 other stations.
Speaking at the occasion, Union Urban Development Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal Khattar mentioned that the project will cost around Rs. 5,600 crore and will ensure rapid development of Gurugram, Manesar and Faridabad.
Sharing his thoughts about Mr. Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman, Signature Global (India) Ltd., “The foundation of the Gurugram Metro Expansion Project marks a landmark moment in the city’s growth journey. Metro connectivity is the backbone of any modern urban ecosystem, and this expansion—spanning 15 km with 15 new stations—will ease mobility, decongest traffic, and unlock new opportunities for both businesses and citizens.”
“Along with transformative infrastructure such as the Dwarka Expressway, Southern Peripheral Road, and Sohna Elevated Corridor, this development is set to redefine Gurugram as a seamlessly connected urban hub. Collectively, these projects are not only enhancing the real estate potential of SPR and Dwarka Expressway but also laying the foundation for balanced, sustainable, and inclusive urban growth,” he added.

Why GST Reforms Could Spark a Real Estate Revival: Homebuyers to Benefit as Costs Drop
New Delhi | September 06, 2025: The demand for Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms in real estate has been growing since the tax regime was first introduced. While almost every industry sought rationalisation, the housing sector has been among the most vocal. Now, with the government considering GST cuts and restoration of Input Tax Credit (ITC), optimism in real estate is soaring. For millions of homebuyers, this could be the turning point that makes their dream of owning a house more affordable.
At present, key construction materials such as cement, steel, tiles, and sanitary fittings attract GST rates ranging from 18 to 28 percent. Developers pay these taxes but are denied ITC, which inflates the overall project cost by nearly 6–8 percent. This additional burden is eventually passed on to buyers, making homes several lakhs costlier. As a result, affordability has been compromised and housing demand has slowed down in many markets.
Industry experts emphasise that real estate is not just one sector but the backbone of India’s economy, linked to over 200 ancillary industries and generating millions of jobs. Rationalising GST and reinstating ITC is therefore being hailed as a historic step that could cut home prices, revive demand, and boost employment and investment.
How Much Can Buyers Save?
- Cement (Current GST 28%): A 5–10% reduction could lower construction costs by 2–3%.
- Steel (Current GST 18%): A 5% cut can reduce project costs by 1.5–2%.
- Overall impact: Total project costs could drop by 6–8%.
- Direct saving for buyers:
- A 2BHK flat priced at 50–60 lakh could become cheaper by 3–5 lakh.
- Larger homes and villas could see savings of 6–8 lakh.
- Sales boost: Demand is projected to rise by 15–20%.
Multiplier Effect Across NCR and India
Dinesh Gupta, President, CREDAI Western UP, says:
“GST reforms will have a multiplier effect across the real estate market. A 5–10% reduction in cement (28%) and steel (18%), combined with restoration of ITC, can reduce project costs by up to 8%. For a 2BHK apartment, this means direct savings of 3–5 lakh, while larger homes can save up to 8 lakh. Our analysis shows that such reforms could increase sales by 15–20% and bring the NCR as well as the national housing market back on track.”
Rising Costs and the ITC Problem
Suresh Garg, CMD, Nirala World, highlights:
“Builders pay GST on materials such as cement (28%) and steel (18%), but are denied ITC. This inflates project costs by 6–8%. If the government reduces GST and restores ITC, home prices could fall by nearly 10%, giving direct relief to buyers.”Vikas Pundir, CMD, SKB Group, adds:
“The proposed GST reforms will be a game-changer for real estate. Lower taxes on construction materials will reduce project costs by 3–5%, especially benefiting the affordable housing segment. A simplified tax structure will also build buyer confidence and encourage first-time homeowners.”
Lower Prices Will Drive Sales
Shailendra Sharma, Chairman, Renox Group, observes:
“The recent move to reduce GST by up to 10% on key raw materials such as cement is very encouraging. This will prove to be a long-term positive for the sector. Lower taxation will ease the burden on homebuyers, accelerate sales, and allow developers to control prices while increasing supply.”
Not Just Tax Cuts, ITC Restoration is Key
Lt. Col. Ashwini Nagpal (Retd.), COO, Diligent Builders, stresses:
“Reducing GST on critical materials such as cement to 18% is welcome, but the real boost will come from restoring ITC. Without credit, a large part of costs remains locked, keeping property prices artificially high. If ITC is allowed, the sector will operate with greater efficiency and pass the benefits directly to buyers.”
Luxury Housing May Face a Challenge
While GST cuts benefit mass housing, the proposed 40% GST rate on high-end interiors could hurt the ultra-luxury segment, particularly in Gurgaon.
Gaurav Sobti, Founder, Homegram, warns:
“The proposed 40% GST on ultra-luxury interiors is a major concern. Currently, high-quality interiors already attract 28% GST, and a 12% hike could add nearly 12 lakh to the cost of a 5 crore apartment with 1 crore spent on interiors. This may weaken demand as buyers face higher costs, and developers may be forced to compromise on quality or sell bare-shell units. However, reducing GST on cement from 28% to 18% and implementing a two-slab tax structure could offset some of this burden, simplify compliance, and ensure long-term stability.”
The Bottom Line
With GST rationalisation and ITC restoration on the horizon, real estate could witness one of its most significant policy-driven turnarounds in recent years. From affordable housing to premium projects, buyers are set to gain through lower prices and greater transparency, while developers expect faster sales and improved liquidity. If implemented effectively, GST reforms could put the Indian housing market firmly back on a growth trajectory.

Tathastu Realty to develop INR 200cr high street commercial project in Rewari
September 02,2025: New Delhi: Realty firm Tathastu Realty said it will develop a 6-acre high-street commercial project in Rewari, Haryana, with an estimated investment of ₹200 crore.
The project, to be called Swarnim, will come up in Sector 22, Rewari, and is spread over six acres of land. Swarnim will comprise 1,200 shops, the company said. The launch price has been set at ₹14,000 per sq. ft.
Tathastu Realty said the total sales realisation from the project is expected to be about ₹400 crore. The company added that the project is designed to cater to the growing demand for organised retail and small-format commercial spaces in the Rewari region.
“The commercial real estate segment in emerging growth hubs like Rewari is witnessing steady demand. With Swarnim, we intend to provide a structured retail environment in a location which has strong connectivity and growth prospects,” the company said.
Mr. Neeraj K Mishra, Executive Director, Tathastu Realty , said, “With Swarnim, we aim to bring a premium high-street shopping experience to Rewari. The strategic location and thoughtfully planned infrastructure will provide a significant boost to the region’s retail and commercial ecosystem. We are confident that this development will emerge as a landmark destination for businesses and consumers alike.”
Rewari, which falls in the National Capital Region (NCR) belt, has seen a rise in commercial and residential activity in recent years owing to improved infrastructure and strong connectivity with Gurugram, Delhi, and Jaipur via NH-48, Delhi–Jaipur Expressway, and upcoming Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS). The city is also well-linked through rail and road networks, further boosting its appeal as a commercial hub.
The company highlighted that this will be its third commercial development under the Swarnim brand, after the successful projects in Sohna, Sector 5 and Sohna, Sector 35.
The entire investment for the project will be funded through internal accruals and customer advances. Possession of this project is scheduled for 2029.

Leading Listed Developers to Hit Booking Targets of INR 1.49 Lakh Cr in FY2026
Mumbai, 1 September 2025: With global trade tensions and spiralling housing prices raging, residential sales were markedly tepid in H12025 when compared to same period last year. However, listed developers remain on track on their pre-sales targets, finds data compiled by ANAROCK Research. Investor presentations and regulatory filings of the top 10 listed developers show that almost 30% or INR 44,317 Cr of total booking (pre-sales guidance) targets of INR 1,49,108 lakh Cr in FY 2026 is already squared away in the first quarter of FY 2026. They are on track to achieve their booking targets of over INR 1.49 lakh Cr in FY 2026.
“Players like DLF Ltd and Prestige Estates are cases in point – DLF has hit nearly 52% of its total pre-sales target of INR 20,000-22,000 CR for FY 2026 in Q1 FY2026,” says Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group. “Prestige Estates has already clocked pre-sales of nearly 45% of its INR 27,000 Cr target for FY 2026.”
The top 10 listed developers’ booking targets in FY 2025 stood at approx. INR 1,20,818 Cr. In short, they are targeting pre-sales growth of 23% over FY25 in the current fiscal.
In terms of actual annual sales bookings in FY 2025, Godrej Properties led the pack in last fiscal with pre-sales of nearly INR 29,444 Cr, followed by DLF Ltd. with sales bookings of approx. INR 21,233 Cr.
Top 10 Listed Developers | FY25 Actual (INR Cr) | FY26 Guidance (INR Cr) | % Growth Expected | % Guidance Achieved in Q1 FY26 |
Prestige | 17,023 | 27000 | 59% | 45% |
Sobha | 6,276 | 10,000 | 59% | 21% |
Godrej | 29,444 | 32,500 | 10% | 22% |
Lodha (Macrotech) | 17,630 | 21,000 | 19% | 21% |
Keystone Realtors | 3,028 | 4,000 | 32% | 27% |
Signature Global | 10,290 | 12,500 | 21% | 21% |
Brigade | 7847 | 9,000 | 15% | 12% |
Kolte Patil | 2,791 | 4,500 | 61% | 14% |
Oberoi Reality | 5,266 | 6,608 | 25% | 25% |
DLF | 21,223 | 22,000 | 4% | 52% |
The listed players’ pre-sales actuals achieved in FY 2025 have set the tone for FY 2026.
“Buoyed by this sales momentum, their continued land buying spree in H1 2025, when over 2,898 acres of land were transacted in 76 deals across India,” says Puri. “The total land volume transacted in H1 2025 is already 1.15 times of the deals volume in the whole of 2024, when 133 deals for about 2,515 acres were concluded across the country.”
Net Debt-Equity Ratio Boosts Financial Strength
After the NBFC crisis in 2018 and the ensuing pandemic disruptions, developers faced funding crunches and declining sales. Many, especially the large and listed ones, focused on deleveraging, improving pre-sales, monetizing assets, and raising equity capital. As a result, several top developers have brought down their net debt-to-equity ratios, with some even achieving net cash positions.
In a new phase of exceptional financial prudence, the average net debt-to-equity ratio of leading listed players has dropped to a historic low of 0.05 in FY25. This marks an over 90% reduction from the FY17 peak of about 0.55. The average net debt-to-equity ratio decline from ~0.55 in FY17 to 0.05 in FY25 was primarily aided by fund raising and improved operational cash flows.
The real estate sector’s shift from leverage-led to balance-sheet-led growth marks a pivotal shift in its investment appeal and operating model. With near-zero debt levels, improving buyer sentiment, and favourable monetary policy positions, FY26 sees the industry in a stable, trust-driven, performance-led cycle that has long-term potential.
“This deleveraging phase will positively impact real estate development in India over the long-term. With D/E ratios at multi-year lows and equity capital continuing to flow in, developers can expand strategically, consolidate market share, and build consumer trust,” adds Puri.
The improved financial metrics also make Indian real estate sector more attractive to institutional and foreign investors, which bodes well for capital formation in the medium term.
Strong Balance Sheets = Greater Flexibility
The sharp decline in leverage has provided multiple advantages to developers:
- Lower interest burden: Lower financing costs have freed up capital for ongoing and new projects.
- Improved credit profiles: Many developers have received rating upgrades, facilitating access to institutional funding at more competitive rates.
- Higher consumer confidence: Buyers are increasingly favouring financially sound developers, further supporting their pre-sales momentum.
With some large developers now with net cash balances, the collective goal now is keeping the net debt-to-equity ratio under 0.4 and more players are targeting a net cash position over the next three fiscal years.
Affordable Housing Gap Widens: Only 0.36 Homes Built per Unit Sold
Mumbai, 1st September ,2025: In its latest report- Affordable Housing: Tackling Urban Housing Deficit Through Supply-Side Reforms, Knight Frank India, a leading real estate consultancy in the country, in association of National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), highlighted the critical supply challenges in India’s affordable housing sector. According to the report, the supply-to-demand ratio for affordable housing across the top 8 cities has plummeted to 0.36 in 2025 (until June), down from 1.05 in 2019, signalling a significant undersupply in the segment. This shift marks a turning point from the years when developers launched more affordable housing units than were sold, driven by schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). In contrast, 2025 data show launches have collapsed to barely a third of sales, underscoring a deepening imbalance that threatens to impact housing affordability and limit buyer choice.
Demand Policies Help, but Supply Remains a Bottleneck
Over the past decade, policy interventions such as PMAY, Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs), and tax benefits have provided critical support to homebuyers. These measures improved affordability and expanded access to credit for economically weaker sections and low-income groups. However, the report finds that supply continues to lag demand as developers face mounting challenges including high land costs, limited access to construction finance, regulatory delays, and inadequate infrastructure in peripheral urban zones.
Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said, “Affordable housing is not only a social priority but also an economic necessity. As India urbanizes rapidly, the imbalance between supply and demand in this segment poses significant risks to inclusive growth. While policy support on the demand side has been commendable, there is a pressing need to address supply-side barriers. Encouraging private sector participation through innovative financing, faster approvals, and land availability will be critical to bridging the gap and ensuring that every Indian has access to dignified housing.”
Affordable Urban Housing Deficit to Reach 30 mn Units by 2030
India’s existing affordable urban housing shortage is estimated at 9.4 mn units, with demand expected to rise sharply as urbanization accelerates. By 2030, cumulative affordable housing demand (including EWS, LIG, and MIG households) is projected to reach 30 mn units.
The ratio highlights a dramatic collapse in new launches, falling to nearly a third of sales in 2025.
This shortfall, combined with incremental affordable housing demand of 20.7 mn units by 2030, will push total affordable housing needs to 30 mn units, of which 79% will be concentrated in EWS and LIG households.
Launches Lag Sales in Affordable Housing
The report points to a sharp imbalance between sales and launches. India’s affordable housing sector faces persistent challenges in expanding supply to keep pace with the country’s fast-growing urban population. Although policy initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) have laid the groundwork, the actual construction and delivery of affordable homes remain far from adequate.
In 2025 (Until June), the share of affordable housing, i.e value of housing units priced under INR 5 mn stood at 17%, a sharp decline from 52.4% in 2018. Thus, indicating decline in affordable housing supply in Indian cities. The receding number of launches in the affordable housing units is primarily attributed to the bottlenecks hindering private participation.
Private Investment in Affordable Housing Remains Minimal
Another key finding of the report is the limited private capital flowing into the sector. Between 2011 and 2024, private equity inflows into affordable housing totalled USD 1.9 bn, accounting for just 7.8% of the residential sector. Foreign funds accounted for merely 10.2% of the capital inflow into affordable housing segment between 2019-24.
Gulam Zia, Senior Executive Director– Advisory, Valuation, and Research, Knight Frank India, said, “The sharp decline in the new supply-to-demand ratio from 1.05 in 2019 to 0.36 in 2025 demonstrates the urgent need for structural reforms. High land costs, inadequate institutional investments, and infrastructure deficits in peripheral locations continue to restrict developer participation. Without targeted incentives and financing mechanisms, affordable housing will remain underserved. Addressing these gaps can unlock private investment and create a sustainable ecosystem for the segment.”
Mr G Hari Babu, President, NAREDCO, said, “At the 17th NAREDCO National Convention, the Knight Frank & Naredco report has once again underlined the scale of India’s affordable housing challenge— a deficit of 9.4 million units that could rise to 30 million by 2030. The fact that new supply in this segment has dropped sharply while demand continues to grow is a matter of concern. Limited private investment further widens the gap. This Convention is the right platform to call for bold supply-side reforms— unlocking PSU land for housing, rationalising FSI norms, and enabling subsidised construction finance. These measures can restore affordability, attract private participation, and ensure that affordable housing becomes the real engine of inclusive urban growth in India.”
The report emphasises that unlocking affordable housing supply will require bold reforms and collaborative efforts among government, developers, financial institutions, and civil society. It recommends repurposing vacant PSU lands for affordable housing through public-private partnerships, increasing the free floor space index (FSI) to boost supply and reduce costs, and providing subsidized construction finance to developers, drawing on successful global models from project viability and attract greater institutional capital is also seen as critical. Together, these measures can create an enabling ecosystem where private participation becomes financially feasible, ensuring that affordable housing supply not only meets the growing demand but also supports India’s long-term vision of inclusive and sustainable urban development.
India’s affordable housing challenge is not insurmountable. With policy alignment, innovative financing, and greater private participation, the sector has the potential to not only meet housing demand but also create more equitable, resilient, and inclusive cities.
