On Monday, the report of the committee was delivered to Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri by the 14-member group, which was chaired by former NITI Aayog chief Amitabh Kant.

A program offering subsidized interest rates, similar to MSME, is advised to encourage financial institutions to support stalled projects, according to the Report of the Committee to Examine the Issues Relating to Legacy Stalled Real Estate Projects.

In this regard, a comprehensive plan would be created by the MoHUA (Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs) and sent to the Ministry of Finance, according to the article.
