You absolutely should be aware of government schemes when planning or consulting on new real estate projects.
and here’s why:
Financial Incentives and Subsidies
Governments often offer grants, tax breaks, or subsidies for certain types of projects like affordable housing, green buildings, or smart cities. Missing out on these could mean leaving money on the table or making your project unnecessarily expensive.
Faster Approvals and Clearances
Some schemes offer fast track approval processes if your project fits certain criteria (e.g., affordable housing under PMAY in India). This can save months of bureaucratic delays, and time is money in real estate..
Access to Special Financing Options
There are lowinterest loans or priority sector lending options available for projects aligned with government goals (like industrial parks, senior living communities, or warehousing hubs). Developers aligned with schemes are often more attractive to banks and NBFCs.
Boost to Marketability
Buyers today are aware of government benefits like stamp duty reductions, CLSS (Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme), or GST rebates for projects under certain schemes.
If your project is eligible, it becomes easier to sell you can advertise “Eligible for PMAY Benefits” etc., making the offering more attractive.
Lower Regulatory Risk
Projects aligned with government priorities are less likely to face policy shocks, sudden rezoning, or environmental backlash.
Sometimes, governments themselves become partners or patrons, further derisking the project.
Alignment with Future Urban Development Plans
Being plugged into government schemes means your project will likely align with future infrastructure developments new roads, metros, airports.
This can massively boost your project’s valuation over time.
CSR and ESG Compliance
For companies concerned about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) obligations, aligning with government programs can check multiple compliance boxes.
