Below the Reaction on RBI Monetary Policy by Mr Vimal Nadar, Senior Director & Head of Research, Colliers India

“In the first MPC meeting after the recently concluded general elections, the RBI has maintained status quo. The repo rate remains at 6.5% and withdrawal of accommodation continues. This decision comes against the backdrop of a concerted effort to contain inflation close to 4% on a durable basis. Furthermore, an upward revision of FY 2025 GDP growth rate projection by 20 bps to 7.2% will fuel business optimism across sectors including real estate.

A stable financing environment will continue to benefit homebuyers and developers in both residential and commercial real estate. As central banks across the world ponder over rate cuts, the timing and pace of such reductions in India will remain a key monitorable and should provide further boost to residential activity in the ongoing fiscal year. Developers & institutional investors in the real estate sector will meanwhile continue to expect continuation of structural reforms and policy support from the incoming Central government.”
