“While the implementation of GST and RERA led to some initial challenges for developers, most of the issues have been addressed and the industry as a whole is aligned. Going by the data for sales and new launches in the January to September period, home buyers are no longer delaying or postponing decisions on buying homes,” said Ramesh Nair, country head, JLL India.
