Commenting on the upcoming RBI MPC announcement, Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said, “With inflation at historic lows, driven by stabilising food prices and the full realisation of GST efficiencies, the economy is at an inflection point where monetary action can meaningfully accelerate growth. A calibrated 25-basis-point reduction in the REPO rate would further strengthen purchasing power and unlock better home-loan rates, especially for affordable and mid-priced housing. At a time when real estate continues to demonstrate resilience, a supportive monetary stance from the RBI would provide a timely and powerful boost to both the sector and the broader economy.”
