With the BMC withdrawing water supply to all construction sites in the city, experts have said Mumbai’s real estate market may take a big hit over the next month.
Market research and builder information indicate that BMC’s decision will directly disrupt timelines for completion of about 1.43 lakh homes. Its secondary impact would be on labourers in this sector, with construction projects being forced to a halt due to lack of water supply.
