Perspective by Mr. Ram Raheja, Managing Director, S Raheja on RBI MPC unchanged repo rate announcement
Shared below is the Perspective by Mr. Ram Raheja, Managing Director, S Raheja on RBI’s unchanged repo rate. Request you to kindly consider the same for your esteemed publication.
“The RBI’s decision to hold rates at 5.25% reinforces policy consistency at a time when global uncertainty and rising crude prices could have warranted a more reactive stance. Instead, it reflects confidence in the underlying strength of the Indian economy. With GDP projected at 6.9% in Q1 FY27 and private sector investment continuing to hold, the fundamentals remain intact. At this point, the repo rate is no longer the primary driver of demand in the luxury housing market—it’s simply a signal of stability. Credit growth and sustained greenfield FDI interest further indicate that the growth story is not just cyclical, but structural. In Mumbai, luxury homebuyers are increasingly making decisions independent of short-term rate movements. They are driven by long-term value, design, and trust. A stable macro environment doesn’t create demand—it validates it..” - Mr. Ram Raheja, Managing Director, S Raheja
