RBI Maintains Repo Rate, Supporting Steady Growth 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 approximately 90,715 units in the top seven cities during Q2 2026, supported by stable demand and infrastructure growth. The Reserve Bank of India’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% is seen as a move that sustains market momentum by keeping loan EMIs stable, aiding buyer confidence and developer investment amid global uncertainties and inflationary pressures.
