Despite meaningful interventions by the policy-makers, slow inventory offtake is still a concern at large. This announcement is a perfect formulation of ecosystem to bring all the stakeholders together and bring the change in the industry.”

Unfair activities practiced by few developers, have shaken the confidence of homebuyers impacting entire sector at large.
