Housing for All: Improving Landscape of Real Estate Economy in India

One of the most influential drivers of economic growth of the country, real estate is a diversified industry with a large impact on India’s overall development. After a gloomy start in 2008-09, India bounced back in the competition and has been attracting many large scale investments from the year 2010. An important aspect to have emerged out of the current situation is the fact that there is a need for a thorough R&D in real estate to deliver affordable and sustainable environment for buyers as well as developers in the country. Real estate properties have a major role to play in fluctuating economy of India and that’s the reason regulatory authorities need more than just policies to spring back into action.

Housing for All by 2022
The vision behind this initiative has always been of providing affordable property to buyers coming from different segments of the society. This step was recently taken by government so that there are more projects that are delivering what is actually required out of them. It simply means that it’s high time for investors to spend their money on something that is valuable as well as beneficial for them at the same time. In order to make housing projects accessible to people from different walks of life, government also has to understand the need of developers who are planning new projects. This balance will not only help in maintaining a perfect ecosystem for realestate in India but will also take care of the sentiments of people involved in it.

With one year already gone for this project, there is a room for further improvement. According to the performance reports of this initiative, there have been thousands of houses that were built in the past one year but there is still room for improvement in order to achieve desired target. There are a few clear winners in this scheme with Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan being the ones that are running ahead in the competition. While the pace still needs to revamp itself, there are constant upheavals that have been disturbing the ongoing advancements in the futuristic scheme.

The way forward
There has been substantial amount of developments under Housing for All; however, it still needs to increase its speed of implementing regulations to new projects. While there has been a lot of progress in the futuristic model of expansion, there are many factors that have been slowing down the process. Reasons such as slow infrastructural development and requirement of affordable housing policy are to name a few. Apart from these setbacks, the Indian economy is also under close scrutiny because of its unpredictable performance since the last few years.  In the middle of these shortcomings, government schemes need to be prepared in accordance with the constant changes in Indian market.


The urgency of affordable housing projects along with a well-thought out development plan is the need of the hour and must be attended by the government. With these proposals, buying properties in India is soon going to become comparatively easier and very much in synchronization with constant demands being raised by the buyers. This way everyone is assured of a bright future in realty industry and its implications on the monetary status of the country.
