    Real estate body CREDAI said on December 10 that there has been no significant impact of the new Omicron variant on India’s realty market, construction continues as planned and that new project launches will not be hampered.

    CREDAI is not expecting any disruption in project construction pace and deliveries too shall go as committed unless there is a significant rise in the infections in the months to come, it said in a statement.


    “Developers have learnt from the previous two waves of the pandemic and are fully prepared to manage any disruption pertaining to supply chain and labour supply to a large extent. The construction in ongoing projects is continuing as planned so that homebuyers can get possession on time.Also Read: Too early to predict impact of Omicron variant on real estate sector, say experts

    "New project launches too won’t be affected. However, we would urge the government to exempt real estate and construction from any future lockdowns or curfews as halting construction activity will have a severe impact on construction workers and economic recovery too,” said Harsh Vardhan Patodia, president, CREDAI.
