SWAMIH Fund and RERA ensured faster deliveries of homes

Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO, PropEquity said that the cause of this surge is due to the delivery of homes launched in 2018-19, the construction of which experienced some slowdown due to the pandemic and other factors.

“The deliveries have also been expedited due to the government’s SWAMIH (Special Window for Affordable and Mid-Income Housing) Fund. The strict compliance and implementation under RERA have also played a major role in developers adhering to project delivery timelines,” he said.

He said that the positive market sentiments over the past couple of years have ensured strong cash-flows and faster project executions.

“As reputed and branded developers increase their market share, this trend in delivery of homes is expected to continue. SWAMIH 2.0 will also play a significant role in expediting delivery of stalled projects,” he said.

Umesh Gowda H A, Chairman and Founder at Bengaluru-based real estate developer Sanjeevini Group, said that reforms like RERA and the SWAMIH fund have accelerated the delivery of homes amidst soaring demand from growing corporate presence and employment.

“Micro-markets in the periphery such as Varthur and Gunjur in Bengaluru are amongst the top priority markets for residential demand as developers focus on expediting construction, ensuring quicker delivery and enhancing brand equity,” he said.
