ट्रंप के टैरिफ से रियल एस्टेट सेक्टर पर भी संकट, किफायती घर भी हो सकता है महंगा

There is a bad news for those who were dreaming of taking their home in a low budget. US President Donald Trump has decided to impose new tax (tariff) on some goods, which will directly affect the cheap houses being built in India. The raw material that is used to build these houses, such as steel, iron, and some electronic goods, will now become expensive. Due to this inflation, the cost of building houses will increase, and finally those who buy these houses will have to pay a higher price.

America After imposing a tariff up to 50%, experts say that if these business decisions are not changed quickly, it will have a very bad effect on the real estate sector of India.

Giving his opinion about this, Dr. Prashant Thakur, Executive Director of Anarock Group, said, “These houses priced at 45 lakh rupees or less were badly affected since the Korona epidemic and have still not been able to get out of the difficulties. Now these strict taxes of Trump will also end the hope of this segment.”

Thakur also told that the growth of this segment directly India The small and medium industries depend on the MSMEs and Smes, as these industries only play an important role in increasing the demand of homes.

Housing finance and developers are also affected

Thakur also informed that housing finance companies will also suffer losses due to possible decrease in demand. This will increase the risk of defaults on debt and new loans will be given less. He further said, “Development will also hesitate to launch new projects due to decline in demand. They will have to face lack of capital to work due to reduced sales. Anyway, since the epidemic, they have been struggling with inflation of input costs since the epidemic.”

Anarock’s report also said that it is very important to take the government’s step to overcome these difficulties. The government will have to take some special steps to stabilize the cheap housing scheme. The government will have to form a policy that can compete with these challenges. Some special measures will have to be taken for financial security, so that the sector does not suffer further damage. Those who buy the house will also have to provide help so that they can fulfill their dream of buying a house.
