The real estate industry has transitioned to a more structured environment with the implementation of the Real Estate Act and Goods and Services Tax but improvement is being seen in select pockets.

Both enquiries and conversion in the real estate sector has risen, Niranjan Hiranandani, co-founder and managing director of the Hiranandani Group and Shobhit Agarwal, managing director-capital markets at consultant JLL India told BloombergQuint in an interview.

The affordable segment, however, is seeing a positive response, with more new launches and developers.
