Moneycontrol.com-Why affordable housing remains a bright spot in India’s housing sector
In a country as vast and diverse as India, affordable housing has consistently proven to be a resilient and transformative force in the housing finance sector. For years, it has quietly bridged the gap between aspiration and reality, helping millions achieve their dream of homeownership. Today, more than ever, affordable housing stands as a cornerstone of the economy—resilient, dynamic, and filled with untapped potential.
The improving macroeconomic landscape is propelling the housing finance industry towards a growth of 16-17% over FY25 and FY26, with a major chunk of growth coming from the affordable housing segment, which is estimated to grow at 22-23% CAGR over next two years. My optimism for this segment, hence, is rooted in a combination of government focus, evolving market dynamics, and technological advancements that promise a sustainable future for affordable housing.
