NEW DELHI - Tribhuwan Adhikari, managing director and chief executive officer of LIC Housing Finance, said the following on the Reserve Bank of India's fifth bi-monthly monetary policy for 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) detailed on Friday:
After maintaining a neutral stance at the last two Monetary Policy Committee meetings, a 25-basis points rate cut is on the expected lines, making a total of 125 bps repo rate cut this calendar year. The new 5.25% repo rate is a welcome move and would provide further relief to home buyers.
Friday, MPC raised the GDP growth projection for FY26 to 7.3%, higher than the earlier estimate of 6.8% which is positive for housing demand and home-buying sentiment due to stronger income and job visibility in the coming year. We anticipate a positive growth in the affordable and mid-segment housing in the upcoming quarters contributing to an overall healthy pick-up in consumer sentiment. End
