Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the government stepped in to provide funding to the stressed affordable and mid-income housing projects, that gave relief to the home buyers who had invested their savings.
The government believes that once these homes are constructed and completed, a huge amount of the capital locked up in these projects will be released.
