"The RBI’s decision to hold the repo rate at 5.25% reflects the need to balance growth and inflation at a time when global uncertainties have intensified. While the domestic economy continues to show resilience, the impact of elevated crude oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical tensions in West Asia cannot be ignored. For the real estate sector, policy stability is more important than aggressive rate action at this stage. Home loan rates remain relatively supportive, liquidity conditions are comfortable, and demand fundamentals continue to be healthy. However, developers will need to closely monitor input cost pressures, as higher energy and material costs could influence project economics and housing affordability in the coming quarters."
