India's affordable housing supply has collapsed to a fraction of its former share, according to the Economic Survey 2025-26, raising concerns about housing accessibility for low- and middle-income families in major cities. Homes priced below INR 50 lakh accounted for just 17 per cent of new launches in 2025, down sharply from 52.4 per cent in 2018, the survey found, highlighting a structural contraction in budget-friendly residential supply in top urban markets. Analysts attribute the decline to rising land and construction costs, developers focus on premium segments with higher margins, and restrictive regulatory norms that discourage affordable projects. The squeeze in supply comes at a time of persistent demand for affordable housing, with policymakers and industry voices warning that the shortfall could widen further without targeted fiscal and regulatory interventions to revive the segment.Read more
