Assocham stated that a study conducted by it had revealed that ‘the real estate sector suffered grave turbulence in 2013 due to a plethora of reasons like rampant economic slowdown both globally and domestically, liquidity crunch, unstable currency, high input costs, labour shortage, high interest rates and growing inflation.’

Apart from AP, the states of Jharkhand, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh are the top five states that have seen a significant decline in investment inflows during the year-long period.
