28th June 2024  India, Delhi NCR  For the eighth consecutive time, the RBI has decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 6.5%. This decision, combined with optimistic GDP growth projections, massive infrastructural development, an increased pace of project launches, and robust demand, is expected to significantly boost the real estate sector. However, while welcoming the move, developers also emphasized the need for intervention to support the affordable housing segment, especially as India is committed to fulfilling its housing aspirations.

Deepak Kapoor, Director of Gulshan Group, expressed that the Indian economy is performing well, and the GDP growth projections are highly optimistic. “We welcome the RBI’s decision to maintain the status quo on interest rates. The benefits are two-fold – boosting consumption and propelling real estate sector growth, especially in the luxury residential segment,” he said.

Yash Miglani, MD of Migsun Group, noted that the RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate stable is a balancing act between controlling inflation and promoting economic development. “With reduced inflation and strong GDP forecasts, aligning with the real estate sector is imperative. Embracing innovation and stability will be key to unlocking new growth opportunities in the sector,” he stated.

Rajjath Goel, Managing Director of MRG Group, emphasized the positive impact on potential buyers. “The Reserve Bank has reassured the real estate industry by maintaining stability in repo rates at 6.50% for the eighth consecutive time, bringing relief to potential buyers. With no adjustments made for over a year, buyers can proceed with their investments without facing rising loan interest rates. This decision alleviates financial concerns and demonstrates the authorities’ commitment to controlling inflation,” he stated.

Harinder Singh Hora, Founder Chairman of Reach Group, expressed optimism, saying, “These are great times for both the economy and the real estate sector, including the commercial segment. The decision by RBI to keep the repo rate unchanged will bring cheer to the market. The world sees immense possibilities in India, and the growth trajectory is high. The GDP numbers are expected to get better, and the real estate share in the GDP percentage is rising.”

Uddhav Poddar, Managing Director of Bhumika Group, hailed the decision as an extremely positive step for homebuyers and investors. “By keeping the rate stable for the eighth consecutive time, the RBI has indicated strong confidence in the real estate sector and homebuyers. This will balance inflation and inject new energy into the real estate market,” he remarked.

Salil Kumar, Director of Sales & Marketing at CRC Group, highlighted the significant growth in the real estate sector in recent years. “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 6.50% will positively impact the industry. With rising housing demand, stable loan rates will foster greater confidence among buyers and developers, promoting long-term growth across residential and commercial sectors,” he explained.

Sachin Gawri, Founder and CEO of RISE Infraventures, said that the RBI’s decision to make no changes to the repo rate benefits the real estate sector. “This decision will prove favorable for both investors and homebuyers. The RBI’s decision indicates that the country’s economy is consistently performing well. We are confident that with India’s growing economic flexibility and declining inflation, there will be further reduction in the repo rate, leading to growth in the real estate sector,” he commented.

Sanchit Bhutani, MD of Group 108, praised the RBI’s step of keeping the repo rate steady for the eighth consecutive time. “A stable repo rate provides confidence for investors and home buyers, directly impacting the growth of the real estate sector, which significantly contributes to India’s GDP and future growth prospects,” he asserted.

Piyush Kansal of Royale Estate Group commended the RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 6.5%. “With the country’s economy performing exceptionally well, along with good GDP growth and control over inflation, this sector is expected to continue performing well in the future. However, concerns about affordable housing and real estate development in Tier 2 and 3 cities remain. A reduction in repo rates would assist developers in realizing their housing aspirations,” he noted.

Prateek Mittal, Executive Director of Sushma Group, shared that the realty sector’s development has turned positive. “The increasing competition and more people investing in mid, premium, and luxury residential segments are evident. Developers have accelerated the pace of new launches, as seen in the recent Q1 report. India is on a path of progress, and the RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged will not disrupt the momentum. This decision will motivate the sector because it will relieve borrowers since their EMI will stay the same,” he pointed out.

Tejpreet Singh, MD of Gillco Group, added that the decision will benefit the luxury real estate sector. “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 6.50% will benefit this sector. There has been a surge in sales in the premium and luxury segments, leading to the launch of new projects. Considering the upcoming festive season, we hope this decision will further benefit the luxury real estate sector,” he said.

Mukul Bansal, MD of Motiaz, commented that the RBI’s announcement of keeping the repo rates unchanged at 6.5% for the eighth consecutive time is remarkable. “As interest rates stay constant, we anticipate increasing buyer confidence and continued interest in the industry. The sector has already been performing well over the last few years, and the decision to keep the repo rate unchanged will benefit both prospective buyers and developers. Altogether, this will increase the real estate sector’s vibrancy among prospective buyers and indicates RBI’s confidence in the state of the economy. This action will benefit prospective homeowners because loan interest rates won’t rise,” he explained.

In conclusion, the RBI’s decision to hold the repo rate at 6.5% has been met with widespread approval from the real estate industry. Developers are optimistic that the stability in loan rates will sustain the momentum in the sector, fostering growth and encouraging investment across various segments. However, the call for more support for the affordable housing segment underscores the need for targeted measures to ensure inclusive growth and help India achieve its housing aspirations.

28th June 2024  Mumbai, Maharashtra, India  In Modern times, mental health has become important and individuals have been encouraged to talk about it and express their emotions freely. But when it comes to mental health issues in men particularly depression and anxiety remains challenging due to societal expectations of masculinity. Our goal is to promote understanding and find solutions by tackling the obstacles men encounter in accessing mental health support. A recent report shows that 77% of men experience mental health issues, yet 40% avoid discussing it due to societal pressures. Additionally, 29% feel embarrassed to talk about depression and anxiety.

College of Physicians & Surgeons of Mumbai (CPS) since 1912 – Spreading Healthcare Education Nationwide

Understanding depression and anxiety in men
Depression and anxiety are mental health conditions that can affect anyone, but men sometimes find it difficult to talk about these feelings openly because of societal expectations about masculinity. Men often struggle with mental health due to family, financial, and work pressures. It’s crucial to create an open environment where men feel comfortable discussing their emotions and mental well-being.

Societal expectations
Men are often expected to hide their feelings of sadness or fear and appear emotionally strong. They feel pressured to handle their problems alone because of societal expectations. This makes it hard for them to admit they need help, fearing they might seem weak or less masculine when talking about their mental health. These pressures limit how men express their emotions, making it difficult for them to discuss their mental health and seek support.

Breaking the stigma
The goal is to make seeking help easy and judgment-free. This means teaching about mental health, ensuring understanding, and encouraging open talks. We want a culture where everyone feels accepted and supported in getting the help they need for their mental well-being.

Strategies for coping
For managing depression and anxiety professional help is necessary, some of the strategies men can include in their daily routine to improve their mental well-being.

Physical Health: Men should exercise regularly, eat balanced meals, and get enough sleep. Exercise boosts mood by releasing feel-good chemicals in the brain.

Emotional Well-being: Men need to acknowledge and validate their feelings. Relaxing activities like hobbies, meditation, or spending time outdoors can help reduce stress.

Social Connections: Maintaining good relationships with friends, family, and community helps men feel supported and less lonely. Regular socializing can improve mental well-being.

Mindfulness and Relaxation: Practices such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga can help men manage stress and think more clearly.

Setting Boundaries: Learning to say no when necessary and prioritizing personal needs without feeling guilty is crucial for maintaining balance and avoiding exhaustion.

Seeking Support: Men should not hesitate to seek professional help or talk to trusted people when facing challenges or struggling with their mental health.

Conclusion
In summary, supporting men with depression and anxiety requires breaking down societal barriers and stigma around mental health. It’s important to promote awareness and provide adequate support. Creating safe environments where men feel comfortable discussing their emotions and seeking help is crucial. Encouraging openness about mental health ensures that everyone receives the necessary support for emotional well-being. Simple methods such as relaxation techniques can also aid in reducing anxiety. By educating, advocating, and offering support, we aim to build a society that values and prioritizes mental health for everyone.
