A reduction in the interest rates and a fillip to infrastructure growth will help lower- and middle-income group families have access to affordable housing, C. Shekar Reddy, national president of Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI), has said.
Addressing mediapersons in the city recently, Mr. Reddy said if the housing sector received infrastructure status, it would help in easy financing and faster growth, resulting in affordable housing for all.
