10. Expert’s Review
HEMAL MEHTA, PARTNER,
DELOITTE HASKINS & SELLS LLP:
"Affordable housing is a priority for
this government and it was expected
to get infrastructure status. With
infrastructure status, developers can
access foreign funds at a cheaper cost
by way of debt and it will be a priority
lending for banks as well. This should
result into a progress in the sector.
The fine print shall provide higher
clarity."
