The lockdown induced by the pandemic has caused a slowdown in the over all industry.

The two day webinar E-Biznet saw close to 500 plus companies and organizations attending, the virtual dialogue.

The biggest take away was the industry was trying to find new initiatives to help each other.

A lift company which spoke first, while concluding its presentation informed developers that it was ready to get in to barter and offer flexible payments to the developers.

Also many allied industries were talking about how their products will be of use during times like COVID 19.

A statement from CREDAI-MCHI said, “Given the dire financial situation of developers owing to minimal demand and limited cash flows, presentations made by leading allied industry players included options for developers to flexibly structure payment mechanisms in the form of deferrals whilst providing avenues of barter as a means to complete transactions and fulfil construction obligations.”

The aim of the webinar was to re-initiate and strengthen corporate relationships between real estate developers and its allied industries.
