Low interest rates have served as key catalyst for resurgence of demand in real estate, Shishir Baijal, chairman & managing director at Knight Frank India said
“Despite the disruptions from geo- political challenges as well as inflationary pressures, the RBI recognises the need to maintain economic growth momentum. For the real estate sector, low interest rates for a long period of time has served as a key catalyst for the resurgence of demand. The status quo on repo rates will help maintain the current demand levels as interest rate for both homebuyers and developers are likely to be maintained by financial institutions,” Baijal said.

Staying accommodative is the right approach, says Prasenjit K Basu, chief economist at ICICI Securities
"The MPC sensibly decided to keep monetary policy accommodative despite inflation being marginally above its tolerance band. Two good reasons justify the policy: (a) inflation is high partly because of (external) supply shocks, so reducing aggregate demand (through monetary tightening) will not address the issue; (b) there is a considerable output gap, with the economy having contracted 6.6% in FY21, and estimated to have grown 8.9% in FY22 (far from closing the gap, in an economy with potential growth of 7% annually). Staying accommodative is thus the right approach: loan growth needs to accelerate to enable a rebound in domestic demand, but the RBI will also withdraw accommodation tactically if inflation gets too far from the target," Basu said.
