How is the demand sentiment in the housing segment?

Overall, the housing market has been strong and resilient over the last few years. There was a year-on-year dip in the first half, but the Q2 was better than Q1. This is the scenario in the top 8-10 cities in the country, but small towns have been growing fast. I so not see any change in this trend on the back of economic development.

You recently entered the affordable housing segment. How is the demand there?
