RBI Maintains Repo Rate at 5.25%, Supporting Stability in Residential Real Estate
India's residential real estate market has shown resilience with a 7% year-on-year rise in new launches and sales of about 90,715 units in Q2 2026 across seven major cities. The Reserve Bank of India's decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% supports this momentum by providing policy stability amid global uncertainties. Industry experts highlight that steady interest rates help homebuyers plan long-term purchases and enable developers to invest confidently, backed by robust demand and infrastructure growth.
