The Union Budget 2026-27 promises hope and relief for the real estate sector. This year’s focus is on affordable housing, infrastructure related growth and expansion across Tier II and III cities. This will open gates for buyers, developers and investors. With schemes such as PMAY-Urban 2.0 that have an allocation of over ₹2,000 crore, affordable housing gets solid backing. This will help in completing stalled projects and speed up construction. To reduce financial risk in infrastructure and construction-led projects, including developments of large real estate, a new infrastructure risk guarantee fund has been announced as well.
