Below the Budget Expectation Quote on Real Estate from Sripad Nandiraj, Founder & CEO, WeHouse

As India’s residential construction and proptech ecosystem matures, the Union Budget 2026 presents an opportunity to address one of the sector’s biggest gaps, the highly fragmented individual home construction market, which still operates with limited standardisation and low technology penetration.

Budgetary measures that incentivise technology adoption in residential construction, support organised, tech-enabled homebuilders, and encourage digital workflows, prefabrication, and modern construction methods can significantly improve cost efficiency, build quality, and project timelines for homeowners. Additionally, targeted credit support and GST rationalisation for construction technology and building components will help accelerate formalisation across the sector.

For companies like WeHouse, which are focused on bringing structure, transparency, and technology to individual home construction, such policy support can unlock scale and make high-quality, sustainable homes more accessible. The Budget has the potential to move residential construction from a fragmented, contractor-led model to a more organised, outcome-driven ecosystem.
