Umesh Gowda H A, chairman and founder of Sanjeevini Group
“The RBI’s decision to keep repo rate unchanged is on expected lines considering the fact that the Indian economy is grappling with heightened geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions and renewed inflationary pressures, particularly due to rising energy prices. Prioritizing macroeconomic stability over monetary easing is a prudent move. A stable interest rates will help provide certainty to both developers and homebuyers, allowing investment and purchase decisions to continue without disruption. India's housing market has demonstrated resilience over the past few years, and policy stability will help sustain this momentum despite global uncertainties.”

“Keeping the repo rate unchanged with a view of balancing economic growth with inflation management is a judicious approach that the RBI has taken amid an increasingly volatile global environment. Adopting a wait-and-watch approach is the right move considering the fact that inflation is inching up and may surpass RBI’s comfort level. Policy consistency will reassure both domestic and foreign investors as predictable interest rates are often more valuable than abrupt policy shifts. A stable monetary environment supports long-term capital deployment, strengthens financing conditions and reinforces India's position as an attractive real estate investment destination.”
Ankur Jalan, CEO, Golden Growth Fund (GGF)
“The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged reflects a measured and prudent approach amid escalating geopolitical tensions, volatile crude oil prices and persistent inflationary risks. Macroeconomic stability and policy predictability are more critical than short-term rate movements. A stable interest rate environment sustains investor confidence and enables developers to execute projects without facing abrupt changes in financing costs. India’s real estate sector continues to benefit from strong structural demand, rapid urbanisation and increasing institutional participation. With inflationary pressures being closely monitored and financial conditions remaining stable, the sector remains well-positioned to attract long-term domestic and global capital. We believe the RBI’s calibrated policy stance will reinforce investor confidence and further strengthen the investment climate in India’s ever-evolving real estate sector.”
Lalit Parihar, managing director, Aaiji Group, a Dholera-based real estate firm
“Escalating geopolitical conflicts have increased the risk of imported inflation through higher crude oil and commodity prices. Against this backdrop, the RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate unchanged reflects a cautious and measured approach, with a clear focus on anchoring inflation expectations while preserving macroeconomic stability. While the real estate sector always welcomes lower borrowing costs, maintaining economic stability remains a larger priority. A stable policy stance will reinforce investor confidence and ensure that financing costs remain predictable. The housing sector today is resilient enough to sustain momentum even amid a pause in monetary easing. As global uncertainties ease and inflation remain contained, the RBI will have greater flexibility to support growth through calibrated policy measures.”
