Mr. Santosh Agarwal, CFO and Executive Director of Alphacorp
We applaud the government for its forward-thinking budget proposals, which hold significant promise for the real estate sector. The emphasis on ‘Viksit Bharat’ as a theme for this year is particularly commendable as it aims to bridge the urban-rural divide and ensure inclusive development across regions. Lower stamp duties aim to make property more affordable for women, boosting home ownership and stimulating real estate transactions. This reduction in costs is expected to encourage more women and families to take benefit of the savings. Furthermore, investment-ready ‘plug and play’ industrial parks will be developed in or near 100 cities, with 12 parks already sanctioned under the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme. These initiatives are poised to bolster industrial growth, attract investments, and boost local economies across the nation.
