Pre-Budget Quote: Deepak Chhabra, Founder, 77 Pillar

“The real estate business in India remains assured by the high demand among the end-users in the residential and commercial industry that is enhanced by urbanization, development of infrastructures, and easy access to information. With the change in the sector, the Union Budget 2026 offers a chance to enhance the transparency, accountability, and consumer confidence further.

It would also require a clear policy framework to guarantee delivery of projects on time, safeguard the interests of the homebuyers, and ensure the accountability of the promoters in their promises in order to restore confidence in the long term. Simultaneously, drivers of responsible development, ease of compliance, and facilitation of digital environments may enhance the effectiveness of transactions. Enhanced focus on information openness and uniform disclosure will also contribute to informed buying by buyers. A middle ground in which the buyers are not harmed and the developers who are credible can scale will assist the real estate industry to play a significant role in the economic growth.”
