NCR real estate market overview has been portrayed by the report of Anarock Property Consultant for the same quarter. The report shows negative signs for the NCR real estate market’s residential segment. It mentioned in the report that Delhi’s real estate market is one of the most affected cities when it comes to the slowdown in the market. They also pointed out the reason for this which are the changes in RERA, Demo, and GST. It also compared the market with Bengaluru’s market and MMR’s market where the sales are peaking up,and Delhi’s market is far away from the same.

In NCR, there are many other reasons apart from the ones mentioned above responsible for the slowdown of the realty market in the city. According to the Anarock’s report, the changing norms and regulations, money laundering in the market or using one project’s money into another and even modifying details of the projects to pass the regulatory clearance have affected the market as a whole. There are other reasons like the crisis of water and sand in the city and bureaucratic issues also adds on to the same.

Almost 2 lacs units are stuck under the construction phase due to various legal issues which were launched 5-6 years back in 2013 and before than that. The projects are stuck at different stages,and out of this total number, one lac thirty thousand units are in Greater Noida and Noida city area which is almost sixty-five percent of the entire stock of the realty project in the city.
