"GST will bring down land costs for the reasonable section of lodging while expanding costs for the exceptional fragment. An extensive part of the land advertise - very nearly 70% is skewed towards center to high wage section of lodging. We may see designers (particularly littler ones) move center to low wage lodging to pick up from GST," says Sachin Sandhir, worldwide overseeing chief – Emerging Business, RICS.
