Mr. Ankur Jalan, CEO, Golden Growth Fund (GGF), a category II Real Estate focussed Alternative Investment Fund (AIF):
A low-interest rate regime augurs well for economic growth. With inflation falling, the RBI must focus on accelerating growth amid the global headwinds. Going for 25 bps rate cut will stimulate demand and give a spur to consumer spending across sectors including housing which off late is witnessing some moderation after going through historic highs in the past couple of years.
Mr. Garvit Tiwari, Director & Co-Founder, Gurugram-based property consulting firm InfraMantra:
Having initiated the rate cut cycle in February, the RBI is expected to further go ahead with another 25-bps cut in repo rate. The decline in inflation and improvement in GDP has given RBI the headroom to go for another round of rate cut. Housing sales and supply, which saw a decline in the first quarter of 2025, will get a fillip with cheaper borrowings. This will also help in enhancing home loan eligibility for prospective borrowers.
Vijay Harsh Jha, founder and CEO of property brokerage firm VS Realtors:
Housing sales have shown signs of moderation and are marginally above the 1 lakh unit threshold in top 9 cities partially as a result of rising home prices. We expect RBI to take cognizance of this fact and initiate a 25-50 bps cut in interest rate in order to take some burden off the homebuyers and encourage fence-sitters to enter the market.
