The realty sector has struggled during the lockdown and was largely ignored when the government announced its Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus package. While some measures were announced, the industry feels that it is not enough to revive an industry that was bleeding for many years already. According to a KPMG report, due to COVID-19, the real estate sector in India is projected to lose about Rs 1 trillion by the end of the financial year.
