Housing in Gujarat may become costlier
The housing projects in Gujarat are expected to become costlier by about 10-15% in case the rising input costs of material and labour are not reined on time, said the Gujarat Institute of Housing & Estate Developers (GIHED).
The GIHED also has taken intervention from the government to keep a check on the spiralling prices of cement which have believed to be increased by Rs 70-85 per bag of 50 kg in last two months.
In case there were no actions taken, the GIHED will raise the issue through the forum of their parent body- The Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI). It was also seen that the per square feet construction cost had doubled from Rs. 700 in 2009, backed by rise in input cost of raw material and labor by shrinking the profit margins of the real estate sector in range of 20-40%.
