Below the Quote on GST 2.0 and Its Impact on the Real Estate Sector by Ashish Kukreja, CEO and Founder of Homesfy.in and mymagnet.io

 

"GST 2.0 is not just an incremental reform but a structural reset for Indian real estate. The shift to a broad two-slab structure of 5% and 18%, along with a 40% demerit rate, signals the government’s intent to simplify and strengthen an eight-year-old tax regime. For our sector, the rationalisation of rates on key construction materials like cement and steel from 28% to 18%, and granite blocks and sand-lime bricks from 12% to 5%, directly translates into lower project costs and more affordable homes.

Real estate already employs over 7 crore Indians, making it the country’s second-largest employer. These reforms will encourage developers to launch more projects, creating new jobs and improving buyer sentiment. Importantly, a simpler, more transparent GST framework can help resolve long-standing challenges around input tax credits and compliance, while also attracting institutional capital into emerging segments such as affordable housing, co-living, and rental housing.

There will naturally be transitional issues in adapting to the new framework, but the overall direction is positive. GST 2.0 gives buyers affordability, developers confidence, and the sector a foundation of trust, and that combination is vital for the next phase of growth in Indian housing.”
