Average property values in India鈥檚 national capital region showed a whopping 49 per cent appreciation in the past one year as demand for luxury homes continued to sustain. This comes amid an escalation in the cost of building materials and labour, a new report by digital real estate transaction and advisory platform PropTiger.com shows.

Amid hardening inflation and slowing growth, the government must launch policy measures that take care of this crucial aspect to promote affordable housing. Positive tweaks in taxation laws in the upcoming Budget and rate cuts by the RBI could go a long way in ensuring greater affordability for India鈥檚 burgeoning Middle Class,鈥� said Dhruv Agarwala, Group CEO, Housing.com & Proptiger.com.
