Solution for Expensive Housing in India

     Housing is very expensive mainly for three reasons. The land cost in India is very high. We need to go through the reasons why the land cost is very high.
Secondly, construction cost is also high. It’s not as high as compared to other parts in the world, but thzt is also because the quality of construction overseas is a lot better. Quality in Indi has been improving lately, but not to the level where the costs can be justified.
Third, is the cost and time involved in getting sanctions from the government, and the amount which the developer and the architect have to spend for speeding up the work.

      Why land cost is very high? It is because the return on FSI [floor space index, a ratio which determines how much floor space you can have as a proportion of the land area] is low . If you look at Dubai, Hong Kong and other countries, FSI starts from 4 and goes up to 20 – in some countries it remains unrestricted. So FSI should be increased, so the cost of the flat or commercial areas can come down.In Kolhapur city  the FSI ranges from 0.8 to 1.5 depending on the type of property and location of use and can by increased by some value by paying money for the transfer of development (TDR) with a floor limit restriction of  11 floors only.
Then there are many restricted areas, land which is in possession of MHADA [Maharashtra Housing & Area Development Authority]  that should be opened up in a proper way. SRA [Slum Rehabilitation Authority] schemes should be developed in a proper way whereby the benefit goes to the occupants, the government , to the land owners,to the flat purchasers, and also to developers or builders.
     Then there is the construction cost factor. The government can reduce taxes and the restrictions on cement and steel. That will reduce construction costs.     And lastly, there is an interest cost for the time taken in getting all of the sanctions of the projects, which ultimately is passed on to flat or office purchasers. If that the procedures are shortened, then the cost will reduce, and ultimately it will bring the prices down.
