Words from Mr. Rohit Gera- 

Rohit Gera, MD, Gera Pune Residential Realty, stated, “Uncertain events have the ability to change the market dynamics. Lockdown and Pandemic is no different. The launch of several new residential projects collapsed in the first half of the year due to Covid-19. However, the new project launch recovers in the second half of 2020 and the sales are somewhat comparable to the period same as 2019. 

The commencement of new development rules by the Maharashtra Government have boosted the potential of developers. Now developers are back to the ground to craft new projects and they expect the same number of new projects would require more inventories in upcoming years. Gera said.
