State Bank of India (SBI) Chairman
Rajneesh Kumar said that real estate companies should focus on selling finished
houses quickly and keeping their loan instalments on time instead of holding
them in the hope of higher profits.
Addressing a video conference of
NAREDCO, a group of real estate companies, he said that if real estate
companies want to stay in the market and return to normal business as soon as
possible, then they need to focus on a few things is. They need to focus on
selling finished houses quickly, avoiding default in payment of bank
instalments and changing the general perception of the real estate sector.
He said, "As soon as possible,
sell ready-made housing units. We were feeling that prices would go up, but
this is not happening in an unfortunate way. There was a time when there were
buyers in the market who were buying homes for the first time. There were also
investors in the market then and you had the possibility of doubling your
investment in five years. Now that time has passed. "
The SBI chairman said that now the
real estate industry should focus on reducing costs and reducing construction
time. He said, "See how we can reduce the time taken to manufacture? How
can we keep costs down in terms of construction materials? "
In the case of banking, he assured
that according to macroeconomic conditions, the rate of interest will be kept
to a minimum. ”He said that everyone should try to make housing affordable,
construction faster. And they are being sold quickly rather than being held in
anticipation of price increases.
