"Real estate sector revival looks to be a long-term structural story though some headwinds remain. Low cost availability of home loans with income tax benefits is pushing demand for homes including the larger homes. However, uncertainties of second COVID wave and its impact is yet to be assessed. Similarly increase in input cost also needs to be monitored. Sobha, due to its unique self-reliant business model, will be able to face any such future challenges," Sobha said in a statement.
"Sobha's foray into multiple regions is yielding results with market share gains across all the operating cities," Sobha added.
