Strata’s CEO Calls for Progressive Measures in Upcoming Union Budget
As India prepares for the Union Budget 2026–27, Sudarshan Lodha, Co-founder and CEO of Strata, emphasizes the critical need for initiatives to bolster the commercial real estate sector. In a recent statement, Lodha highlighted that the prior budgets have successfully established a robust groundwork through substantial infrastructure investment and reforms, particularly in the realms of urban development and capital markets.
Focus on Project Financing and Regulation
Lodha pointed out that while the previous budgets have set a commendable direction, it is now essential for the upcoming budget to prioritize easing project-level financing. He advocates for the enabling of structured private credit, which would provide an essential lifeline for developers and investors seeking to expand their ventures.
“The next phase should focus on mechanisms that alleviate financial barriers and promote clarity in tax and regulatory frameworks specifically tailored for alternative investment platforms,” Lodha stated. He believes that taking these steps could unlock substantial long-term capital, which in turn, would facilitate office expansion beyond metropolitan areas.
Supporting Employment and Urban Growth
The impact of these initiatives, according to Lodha, extends beyond capital investment; it plays a crucial role in enhancing employment opportunities and stimulating urban growth. By strengthening the real estate sector’s contribution to economic development, the government can drive a positive ripple effect throughout the broader economy. As urban spaces evolve, so too must the support from financial frameworks to ensure sustainable growth.
Lodha emphasized that with the right support, the commercial real estate industry can effectively transition into a key driver of employment and urban development in India, creating a dynamic environment where businesses can prosper and cities can flourish.
