Why is the price of property continuously increasing?
Antriksh India Group CMD Rakesh Yadav told India TV Told that there are many reasons behind the increase in property prices. In the last few years, raw materials, land, labor cost and construction cost have increased manifold. This has increased the overall project cost. Apart from this, demand in the market is high and supply is less. In such circumstances, developers are not launching affordable projects even after wanting to. Therefore the price of property is continuously increasing.
