Consecutive reduction in benchmark lending rates will boost homebuyers’ sentiments and resultantly improve housing demand particularly in affordable and middle-income segments. Real estate developers across segments also stand to benefit from likely lowering of financing costs. Overall demand and real estate growth is likely to be on the upswing, given the anticipation of further easing in monetary policy. However, global headwinds and trade frictions will remain a key monitorable for all economic sectors including real estate.

In the first MPC meeting of the fiscal 2025-26, RBI has further reduced the repo rate by 25 bps to 6.0%. The change in stance from “neutral” to “accommodative” is indicative of a growth supportive monetary policy and this becomes more critical in the backdrop of heightened uncertainty in global markets following the levy of reciprocals tariffs by the US. Although the intensity and impact of ongoing tariff escalations needs to be fully ascertained, RBI remains optimistic on domestic growth outlook and projects the GDP to grow by 6.5% in the fiscal 2025-26. Recent easing of inflation is likely to increase disposable income which in turn has the potential to boost domestic consumption.
RBI has also proposed securitization of stressed assets through a market-based mechanism, in addition to the Asset Restructuring Company (ARC) route. Reduction in borrowing costs coupled with alternate resolution mechanism for stressed assets is likely to benefit real estate stakeholders in the near-mid-term. This is expected to provide significant relief to cash strapped developers and several stalled projects due to financial constraints.
