Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the 8th consecutive Union Budget on February 1, 2025. Reports suggest that the government is mulling over cutting income tax for those who are earning up to Rs 15 lakh a year in February's budget, in turn providing relief to the middle class.
The real estate sector have pinned high hopes on the Union Budget FY 2025-26 documents and are keeping their fingers crossed regarding their expectations from the government's most important financial document of the year.
“The real estate sector has high hopes for the upcoming Union Budget 2025, anticipating measures that will truly address long-standing challenges and help drive growth.
Last year’s budget laid a good foundation with its focus on affordable housing and infrastructure, but now is the time for more impactful reforms, especially with rising luxury housing market.
Luxury homes are seeing a big surge in demand, with today’s homebuyers seeking not just comfort but a lifestyle that embodies both luxury and sustainability.
If the budget includes a stronger push for sustainable, green construction and urban development, it could open doors to new opportunities while addressing environmental concerns. This budget has the potential to move beyond incremental changes and truly redefine the future of India’s real estate sector, making it more dynamic, inclusive, and future-ready.
However, the specific details will depend on the government’s priorities and the overall economic situations," said Rahul Thomas, full-time director of Suraj Estate Developers.
