RBI Keeps Repo Rate Unchanged at 5.25%, Retains Neutral Stance; Real Estate Industry Welcomes Policy Stability

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday decided to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25% for the third consecutive monetary policy review, while maintaining its neutral stance. The decision comes amid global uncertainties, including energy market volatility and supply chain disruptions arising from the ongoing West Asia conflict. Industry leaders from the real estate sector welcomed the move, stating that a stable interest rate environment will support buyer confidence, strengthen investment sentiment, and provide greater certainty for long-term project planning.
