Reaction on RBI Monetary Policy by Vimal Nadar, Head of Research at Colliers India

Below the Reaction on RBI Monetary Policy by Vimal Nadar, Head of Research at Colliers India
In line with expectations, RBI in its first MPC meeting after the Budget, has decided to reduce the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25%, the first rate cut in nearly five years, following a prolonged cycle of rate hike and stability triggered by global uncertainties. This comes in the backdrop of easing inflation and moderation in growth prospects. The Central Bank, however, maintains confidence on the robustness of domestic economy and projects the GDP growth rate at 6.7% in FY 2025-26. As housing demand had begun to stabilize after witnessing record sales in the last 2-3 years, this rate cut comes at an opportune time and will have a significant bearing on boosting homebuyer sentiments. The rate cut along with the recent budgetary announcements related to creation of Urban Challenge Fund and tax reliefs under the new regime, are likely to stimulate urban growth and enhance domestic consumption. Higher disposable income and lowering of financing costs stand to benefit homebuyers and developers alike. Furthermore, the recent allocation of INR 15,000 Crores for SWAMIH II fund is likely to expedite completion of stressed projects, boosting liquidity and spur home buying sentiments. Overall, evident tailwinds should boost real estate demand across asset classes in upcoming quarters.
