Shares of affordable housing finance companies dropped sharply on Monday following the Union Budget 2025, which fell short of market expectations for increased capital expenditure in the sector. The government allocated Rs 11.21 lakh crore for FY26, a modest 0.9% increase, disappointing analysts hoping for more support.
Ahead of the Budget, industry stakeholders recommended raising the house value cap under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) from ₹35 lahks to ₹50 lakh in metro cities to enhance the scheme’s effectiveness. However, this proposal was not included in the Budget announcements.
Analysts noted that expectations were high for the government to revise home loan interest deduction limits to provide relief to buyers and stimulate demand. However, the lack of any change in this regard has further dampened sentiment in the sector, disappointing stakeholders and reducing market optimism.
