IDFC Institute hosted a private and off-the-record discussion with affordable housing developers, financiers and planners to discuss affordable housing in India. 

The group considered that market solutions can drive a substantial boost for affordable housing in India, if its policies and regulatory environment become more rationalized, consistent and efficient. While low-income housing for EWS members would need government interventions because the land cost itself prices them out, affordable housing can scale significantly by affecting certain policy changes. The group focused on narrowing down key solutions that would make affordable housing more viable.
