As the Mahayuti alliance prepares to form the government in Maharashtra, the real estate sector is abuzz with optimism, anticipating reforms that could reshape the industry’s landscape. With Maharashtra poised to become a hub for real estate innovation, these reforms could unlock significant opportunities—from redevelopment to affordable housing initiatives and luxury developments—driving economic progress and enhancing the state’s prominence on the global real estate map. Industry leaders are hopeful for a collaborative approach from the new administration to foster growth and investment.
Prashant Sharma, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra
“The real estate sector in Maharashtra looks forward to proactive governance that fosters growth and investment. Our key expectations from the new government include faster clearances for real estate projects, an improved ease of doing business environment, and policies that promote affordable housing. A collaborative approach between the government and industry stakeholders can not only streamline development processes but also ensure that the state remains a leader in infrastructure and housing innovation.”
Kuldeep Jain, Founder & CEO, Build Capital
“As Maharashtra ushers in a new government, the focus should be on driving economic growth through streamlined approvals and transparent regulations. A balanced policy framework that promotes development while ensuring sustainability is crucial. Addressing delays in environmental and regulatory clearances is essential. Implementing a timeline-driven clearance policy and a unified one-window system will reduce bottlenecks, enhance transparency, and instill confidence among developers and financial institutions. This will pave the way for innovative financing solutions, benefiting both developers and homebuyers. Infrastructure-led growth corridors must be prioritized to unlock emerging markets, boost connectivity, and attract private equity investments, positioning Maharashtra as a key economic driver. A progressive and transparent regulatory framework will ensure sustainable growth and solidify the state’s reputation as a premier investment destination. The new leadership must act decisively to secure Maharashtra’s prosperous future.”
Vikas Sutaria, Founder, Iraah Lifespaces
“Maharashtra’s real estate sector requires a forward-thinking government that recognizes the potential of luxury and second-home markets. By focusing on infrastructure connectivity, especially in emerging regions like Alibaug and Lonavala, and introducing tax incentives for investments in premium projects, the state can attract high-net-worth individuals and investors. Streamlining policies for sustainable and luxury developments will create a more robust real estate ecosystem.”
Anil Mutha, Chief Visionary & Co-Founder, Nandivardhan Group
“With the new government in Maharashtra, the real estate sector stands at the brink of transformative growth. Streamlined regulatory processes to expedite project approvals will accelerate the construction cycle, creating benefits for both developers and homebuyers. Prioritizing infrastructure development in connectivity and utilities is vital for unlocking the potential of emerging real estate markets. Enhanced infrastructure will not only attract investments but also improve living standards across the state. Additionally, fiscal incentives such as reduced stamp duty and tax benefits could play a pivotal role in revitalizing buyer sentiment. A strong, collaborative dialogue between the government and industry stakeholders is essential to address persistent challenges and realize the sector’s immense potential. We remain optimistic about bold actions that will fulfill housing aspirations, elevate living conditions, and contribute significantly to Maharashtra’s economic growth.”
Samyak Jain, Director, Siddha Group
“The real estate sector in Maharashtra anticipates a new government that prioritizes sustainable growth through faster project approvals, streamlined RERA compliances, and enhanced connectivity to boost infrastructure development. Additionally, incentivizing affordable housing, reducing development costs, and ensuring a transparent regulatory environment will position Maharashtra as a leader in creating holistic urban spaces and driving future growth.”
Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers
“As industry stakeholders, we anticipate a government that champions reform and efficiency. We urge the new leadership to focus on single-window clearance systems, rationalization of stamp duty, and innovative financial support for developers. Strengthening infrastructure around growth corridors and supporting sustainable urban development will also catalyze sectoral growth.”
Vedanshu Kedia, Director, Prescon Group
“The new government must prioritize urban regeneration, particularly slum rehabilitation and redevelopment projects along with city/town beautification projects, which are crucial for a city like Mumbai. Additionally, fostering an investment-friendly ecosystem through regulatory consistency and infrastructure upgrades will drive the growth of the sector and enhance Maharashtra’s real estate appeal.”
Rohan Khatau, Director, CCI Projects
“Our primary expectation from the new government is to create a policy framework that simplifies regulatory processes and fosters confidence among developers and homebuyers alike. Reducing the tax burden, including stamp duty and GST, and ensuring smoother project execution can unlock the potential of the real estate sector, making Maharashtra a global investment hub.”
Govind Krishnan Muthukumar, Managing Director & Co-Founder, Tridhaatu Realty
“The new government must prioritize policy frameworks that streamline key initiatives, particularly in urban centers like Mumbai. Addressing bottlenecks in approvals and introducing incentives for redevelopment will not only rejuvenate aging infrastructure but also create much-needed housing. Additionally, the government’s focus should be on fostering public-private partnerships that ensure timely execution of urban regeneration projects while maintaining sustainability at the core.”
Himanshu Jain, VP – Sales, Marketing & CRM, Satellite Developers Private Limited (SDPL)
“The real estate sector looks forward to the new government focusing on holistic urban planning and infrastructure upgradation. Policies that address challenges like approval delays, high financing costs, and project execution bottlenecks can transform the state into a real estate powerhouse. The introduction of single-window clearances, along with reforms in taxation such as reduced GST and stamp duty, will greatly enhance the ease of doing business.”
Deepak Nair, COO & Co-Founder, The Mentors Real Estate Advisory Pvt. Ltd.
“We hope the new government will adopt a consultative and industry-inclusive approach to policy making. Simplifying regulatory compliance, promoting ease of doing business, and reducing approval timelines can significantly accelerate real estate development. Moreover, introducing measures to encourage foreign investments and infrastructure development around key urban hubs will elevate Maharashtra’s real estate sector to global standards.”
