Seasonal migration of workers during summer along with caution around rising Covid infections is likely to delay project timelines by at least six weeks. This is seen even as developers take the aid of technology and re-skilling to address the issue.
Anoop Garg, director of Delhi NCR-based Uninav Developers said the onset of peak summer coupled with a fresh rise in Covid cases is adding to the pressure on the real estate sector. 'We have observed that during the summer months, several skilled workers return to their native places due to health concerns, extreme temperatures, or agricultural responsibilities,' he added.
