| Shobhana Subramanian: Who'll finance 'affordable' housing? | 20-NOV-09 |
|
| Brotin Banerjee is happy. He has been able to sell a fourth of the 1,500 apartments of his affordable housing project in Boisar, about 100 km from Mumbai, to people who he describes as belonging to the “informal sector”. These are buyers, the managing director of Tata Housing explains, who don’t have a bank account and, therefore, wouldn’t qualify for a bank loan. |

| Shobhana Subramanian: Jerry Rao's nano-housing dreams | 03-JUL-09 |
|
| It’s wonderful that Jerry Rao is planning to build houses that cost Rs 700,000 or less. The former Citibanker’s model is simple enough: land is bought with the equity capital while construction is financed through bank loans at market-related rates currently anywhere between 11 and 13 per cent. The key to the success of the project is the time taken to complete it. |
