RBI Rate Hold Boosts Confidence in Housing Sector, Spurs Optimism in Mumbai Suburbs

Mr. Samyak Jain, Director, Siddha Group on RBI Policy

“The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.50% is a welcome signal of stability for the housing sector. In a time when global volatility and trade-related uncertainty are resurfacing, India’s domestic policy consistency gives both developers and homebuyers a crucial layer of confidence. We expect this rate pause, coupled with easing inflation, to re-energise mid-income homebuyers and sustain momentum in Mumbai’s emerging and suburban real estate markets, where affordability and aspiration go hand in hand. It’s now up to the industry to match this macro clarity with delivery excellence and customer-centric innovation.”
