Below the Quote on RBI Repo Rate Reaction by Mr. Vijay Wadhwa, Chairman, The Wadhwa Group

“The reduction in repo rate, though measured, is a timely step that strengthens momentum in the housing sector. A decrease of 25 basis points can meaningfully influence sentiment, especially for first-time and end-use buyers, and may stimulate incremental investment appetite. The RBI’s decision to bring the repo rate down to 5.25%, alongside raising the GDP growth outlook to 7.3%, reinforces confidence in the broader economic trajectory and is expected to ease EMIs for millions of households.

With inflation comfortably moderated and economic growth well supported, the easing of borrowing costs is likely to encourage families to advance their home-buying decisions.

In pivotal markets like Mumbai, along with fast-growing destinations such as Panvel and Karjat, this welcoming policy move is expected to accelerate demand for well-planned, future-ready residential communities. Real estate is a long-term asset class and benefits most from steady, predictable policy movement rather than abrupt shifts. If the direction holds, we anticipate further improvement in affordability, deeper institutional confidence, and continued consolidation of developers who operate transparently and at scale.”
