Experts ask RBI to cut interest rate to revive real estate market, ease home loan burden

Live Mint  

With the Reserve Bank of India keeping its key interest rate unchanged, real estate experts and developers have stressed the need to lower the rate, citing the need to stimulate sluggish sales and ease the growing burden of borrowing costs. “At this point, a rate cut would be more beneficial for consumers," said Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director of real estate consultant Knight Frank India. “A rate cut could have boosted the real estate sector, particularly amidst slowing urban demand and moderation in wage growth," said Dhruv Agarwala, group CEO of Housing.com and Proptiger.com. "The apex bank’s decision… reflects a balanced and prudent approach to sustaining economic stability while fostering growth," said Pradeep Aggarwal, founder and chairman of Signature Global Ltd. “However, a rate cut in the future could infuse much-needed liquidity into the real estate sector, accelerating growth and enhancing accessibility for buyers." “Should the RBI decide to cut rates in the future, it could further spur residential real estate demand, making home ownership more affordable and attractive for buyers."
