MUMBAI- Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director, Knight Frank India, said the following on the Reserve Bank of India's third bi-monthly monetary policy for 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) detailed on Wednesday:

 

"The RBI's decision to hold rates steady underscores its calibrated approach amidst a complex economic backdrop. While inflation has moderated, it remains uneven, and the central bank is understandably cautious given the persistent risks from global commodity prices, geopolitical tensions, and volatile capital flows.

 

For the real estate sector, the continuation of stable policy rates and surplus liquidity conditions provide much-needed predictability and helps preserve affordability for homebuyers. Notably, some banks have already reduced consumer home loan rates--a move that supports housing demand, especially in the mid-income and low-income segment--and more transmission in interest rates is underway. This policy continuity, coupled with easing credit conditions and steady economic growth can provide a boost to the affordable housing categories."  End
