Rahul Maroo, senior vice-president and head of international sales, at Omkar Realtors said, "The introduction of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA), Goods and Services Tax(GST), the demonetisation and Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act have helped bridge the trust deficit between NRIs/institutional investors and India’s private realty players."

Real estate major DLF earlier this month said that it plans to raise Rs 11,250 crore through issue of warrants and debentures to its promoters, subject to shareholders approval.
According to rating agency ICRA, going forward, significant reduction in DLF’s debt levels in the near term through the proposed CCPS transaction and subsequent planned equity raising initiative and improvement in the cash flows from its core real estate development operations would be amongst the key rating sensitivity factors.
ICRA has assigned a short-term rating of [ICRA]A1 (pronounced ICRA A one)1 to the Rs 1000-crore commercial paper programme of DLF. Further, ICRA has outstanding rating of [ICRA]A(Stable) for Rs 6,798-crore bank facilities and Rs 3,6603-crore NCD programme, at present.
