Below the Quote on Real Estate Sector- RBI MPC's decision to Cut the Repo Rate by Mr. Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman, Signature Global (India) Ltd

"The RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate to 6.25%—its first reduction in nearly five years—signals a pro-growth shift aimed at sustaining India’s economic momentum. With GDP growth projected at 6.7% for FY26, this move will enhance liquidity, encourage investments, and stimulate demand across key sectors.

For real estate, a rate cut after such a long period is a significant boost. Lower borrowing costs will improve home affordability, strengthening buyer sentiment, particularly in the mid-income and premium housing segments. Historically, reduced interest rates have triggered an upswing in housing demand, benefiting both homebuyers and developers. Additionally, improved credit access will support developers in securing funding for project execution, ensuring steady supply and timely deliveries.

The real estate sector, contributing nearly 7% to India’s GDP and projected to reach 13% by 2030, will gain further momentum as urbanization accelerates and infrastructure investments expand. This move will also positively impact allied industries such as cement, steel, and construction materials, creating a multiplier effect on employment and overall economic activity. With a sustained focus on affordability and sustainable development, India’s housing market is well-positioned for long-term growth."
