HDFC Capital Advisors MD and CEO Vipul Roongta on Tuesday said the supply of affordable housing has gone down across major cities but not the demand, and urged real estate developers to focus on building homes costing Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore. Addressing a FICCI real estate conference here, Roongta also noted that the euphoria seen in the last few years about housing price appreciation has vanished. "I keep reading about how demand for affordable is going down, and how the demand for premium has gone up. It's actually not that the demand has gone up for premium. It is the supply of affordable that has gone down," said Roongta, who is Co-Chairman, FICCI Committee on Urban Development & Real Estate. He said the supply of housing units, in Rs 35-75 lakh price bracket, has abysmally gone down leading to decline in sales, which is being wrongly interpreted as that the demand of affordable units is going down. "We just launched a project with one of our industry developers in Gurugram, .
