As India approaches its 2025 Union Budget, the real estate sector is watching closely, hoping for pivotal policy changes that can shape the future of the industry. With Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman set to present her 8th consecutive budget on February 1, 2025, the real estate community is eager to see the potential for transformative reforms.
Saurabh Runwal, Director of Runwal Realty, has been vocal about the industry's aspirations. With real estate valued at over $477 billion, he believes this is the perfect moment for the government to grant the sector "industry status." This move could help unlock the sector's potential, paving the way for greater growth and investment.
The real estate sector, which plays a crucial role in India’s economy, is optimistic that the upcoming budget will propel it towards an ambitious goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy, with real estate driving much of that growth. The focus is on cutting taxes, facilitating easier access to finance, and increasing institutional support.
The proposed income tax cuts, especially for those earning up to Rs 15 lakh a year, could give the real estate market the boost it needs. As the country stands at a transformative crossroads, these decisions will shape the future of real estate and its role in India’s larger economic landscape.
Saurabh Runwal’s comments underscore the sector’s belief that this budget could be a turning point. By fostering a supportive policy environment, India’s real estate industry is poised to accelerate towards its long-term goals.
