Santosh Agarwal, CFO & Executive Director, Alpha Corp Development Limited, said,
“The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% provides much-needed stability and clarity for the real estate sector at a time when predictable financing costs are crucial. This pause by the Monetary Policy Committee reinforces confidence among homebuyers and investors alike, as it sustains current borrowing costs and supports affordability. Stable interest rates enable developers to plan project timelines more efficiently, optimise pricing strategies, and continue delivering quality housing without sudden cost pressures. With economic growth prospects remaining solid and inflation under control, this status quo fosters a conducive environment for sustained demand in residential and commercial realty. We welcome this continuity, which underpins long-term investment and supports the sector’s positive momentum.”
Ashish Sharma, AVP Operations, Brahma Group, says,
“The Reserve Bank of India’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% and continue with a neutral policy stance provides much-needed stability for the real estate sector. A predictable interest rate environment is crucial for sustaining momentum in housing demand and enabling developers to plan long-term investments with greater confidence. The RBI’s calibrated approach reflects a careful balance between managing inflation and supporting economic growth. For homebuyers, steady policy rates help preserve affordability, while for developers, they ensure consistency in project financing and execution. Overall, this policy continuity is expected to reinforce market confidence and support the sector’s contribution to economic development in the coming quarters.”
Aman Trehan, Executive Director, Trehan Iris, said,
“We welcome the RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% while maintaining a ‘neutral’ stance, as it reinforces macro-economic stability and enhances confidence across financial markets. This policy continuity provides crucial predictability for both homebuyers and developers, helping sustain demand in the housing and commercial real estate sectors. With stable lending rates, buyers can plan around consistent EMIs, and developers can manage capital costs and project financing more efficiently. In an environment where affordability and financing clarity are key, this steady approach supports robust decision-making and long-term planning. We remain optimistic that the real estate sector will continue to experience sustained demand, steady growth, and long-term value creation.”
Vyom Agarwal, President, ACE – Action Construction Equipment Ltd.said,
“The MPC’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% provides stability for capital-intensive sectors like construction and infrastructure, supporting credit flow and long-term investment. This aligns strongly with Union Budget 2026, which has reinforced its focus on infrastructure through higher capex of ₹12.2 lakh crore and an enhanced Construction and Infrastructure Equipment (CIE) scheme to promote domestic manufacturing of high-value, advanced equipment. Additionally, structural developments such as the India–EU FTA and the proposed US deal are significant positives for Indian manufacturing, improving competitiveness versus key markets like China and strengthening the China-plus-one opportunity. Together, these measures create a supportive framework for companies like ACE to scale innovation, expand capacity, and contribute meaningfully to India’s infrastructure growth,”
