"The Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund provides essential support which our sector requires at this moment. Private developers have long hesitated on Tier-II/III projects due to construction phase risks. The partial credit guarantee system will enable billions in dormant assets to be released for investment while dedicated CPSE REITs help with asset monetization efforts. The combination of ₹12.2 lakh crore capex with other elements creates new business possibilities which will arise throughout India."
Aman Gupta, Director, RPS Group
"The Risk Guarantee Fund has the potential to transform infrastructure financing according to our industry. Lenders will now confidently fund projects in cities with 5+ lakh population, addressing our sector's biggest pain point. The CPSE REITs proposal monetizes massive government assets, creating liquidity. This budget positions real estate as a key driver of India's urban transformation story beyond metros."
Anurag Goel, Director, Goel Ganga Developments
"We support the government's infrastructure risk mitigation efforts because of its specific focus on targeted solutions. The Guarantee Fund directly addresses lender apprehensions that have constrained private investment in emerging cities. CPSE REITs will create benchmark assets, improving market confidence. The comprehensive framework establishes a foundation for Indian real estate development through its combination of public capital expenditure and private sector involvement."
Vijay Raundal, Managing Director, Teerth Realties
"The budget solves essential problems of real estate which involve risk assessment and capital reallocation. The Guarantee Fund de-risks construction financing for developers, while CPSE REITs unlock government asset value. The market trends indicate that Tier-II/III cities will experience the most development. The infrastructure-led development model which we have promoted for sustainable urban expansion received validation from our sector."
