The newly announced two-slab GST structure of 5% and 18% is a progressive move to rationalize the prevailing inverted duty structure, improvise classification, simplify approvals & processing refunds. These measures will surely cut costs at different tiers while enhancing the ease of doing business and driving consumption.

Within real estate, the slashing of GST on cement will play a critical role in rehauling project cost structures as cement forms a major value component in the overall cost of construction. Residential real estate, particularly new homebuyers, stand to gain as developers are likely to pass on the benefit of lower costs in the form of reduced housing prices. Developers’ profitability margins, too can potentially improve, enhancing the overall financial health of the real estate sector. The timing of this rollout is appropriate, with the festive season in the offing and the real estate sector is already reaping the benefits of favourable interest rates.
