Mr. Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman, Signature Global (India) Ltd., said, “The Reserve Bank of India’s decision to reduce the policy rate by 25 basis points to 6 percent comes at a crucial juncture when inflation is beginning to show signs of stability and the broader economic environment appears favorable for nurturing growth through lower interest rates. This proactive move is expected to significantly boost homebuyer sentiment, as reduced interest rates translate into improved affordability, thereby encouraging a larger number of people to consider investing in real estate. On the developer front, the lower cost of borrowing will offer a much-needed cushion, enabling them to fast-track project launches, expand their portfolios, and cater to the anticipated rise in housing demand. Overall, this policy rate cut is a timely and positive step that holds promise for stimulating activity across the entire real estate value chain, benefiting both end-users and industry stakeholders alike.”

Mr. Aman Sarin, Director & Chief Executive Officer, Anant Raj Limited, said, “The RBI’s second consecutive rate cut is a welcome move and is expected to provide a strong boost to real estate demand, especially by making home loans more affordable for buyers.

In its latest review, the Monetary Policy Committee not only reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points but also shifted its stance from ‘neutral’ to ‘accommodative’ — a clear signal that, going forward, the MPC is now considering only two possibilities: status quo or further rate cuts.

This change in stance is extremely encouraging, especially for the housing sector. We anticipate more rate cuts in the coming quarters, and the biggest beneficiaries will be home loan borrowers—particularly those taking large-ticket loans for mid and premium homes. Lower interest rates enhance both affordability and loan eligibility, helping many fence-sitting buyers finally make their purchase decisions.

We also expect renewed interest in the high-end and luxury segments as improved purchasing power, combined with softening rates, makes aspirational living more attainable for a wider audience.”

Mr. Ashok Kapur, Chairman, Krishna Group and Krisumi Corporation, said, “The two consecutive policy rate reductions by the RBI, of 25 basis points each, are expected to significantly benefit home buyers. Many prospective buyers who had been cautiously observing the market are now likely to take a decisive step towards purchasing their dream homes. Simultaneously, the reduction in rates will lower borrowing costs for developers, encouraging them to launch more projects in the coming quarters to meet anticipated demand. This dual impact is expected to stimulate both housing demand and supply, providing a positive momentum to the real estate sector.”

Mr. Udit Jain, Director, ONE Group Developers, said, “The RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate is along expected lines. In its previous MPC review, the Governor had already hinted at the possibility of further rate cuts, and we now have a cumulative 50 basis points cut so far. The encouraging development is the RBI’s decision to shift its policy stance from ‘neutral’ to ‘accommodative’. This signals that, barring any major shocks, the MPC is likely to consider only two options going forward—status quo or further rate cuts.

This move bodes well for the broader real estate sector, especially when supported by improved liquidity and relatively stable property prices. If inflation continues on its current downward trajectory and macroeconomic indicators remain supportive, we may witness further monetary easing in the upcoming policy cycles—potentially driving even more momentum in housing demand.

Lower interest rates on home loans will benefit buyers across segments, from affordable housing to premium and luxury categories, making homeownership more accessible and attractive.”

Mr. Raoul Kapoor, Co-CEO, Andromeda Sales and Distribution Pvt Ltd, said, “The Reserve Bank of India’s decision to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points for the second consecutive time—bringing the total cut to 50 basis points—comes as a welcome move for borrowers and the real estate sector alike. This back-to-back reduction is not only a sign of improving macroeconomic stability but also a strategic push to boost consumption and home ownership.

Lowering the repo rate effectively brings down cost of capital for banks and housing finance companies, translating into cheaper home loans for borrowers. This makes home ownership more affordable, especially for first-time buyers and middle-class households.”

Strategic Location and Infrastructural Development

The government’s focus on improving infrastructure in tier-2 cities is visibly bearing fruit in Sonipat. The Urban Infrastructure Development Fund (UIDF), managed by the National Housing Bank, is set to boost the creation of urban amenities, making Sonipat more attractive to residents and businesses. Additionally, the city’s inclusion in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) promises substantial industrial growth, with plans for smart industrial parks and logistic hubs that are expected to generate significant employment and boost the local economy.

With improved infrastructure and connectivity, Sonipat’s real estate market is experiencing a significant transformation. Affordable land and lower cost of living are attracting both developers and buyers, leading to the emergence of organized housing projects and commercial spaces. The government’s Make in India initiative has been a significant catalyst, with several manufacturing units setting up shop in and around Sonipat. This has led to commercial real estate witnessing robust growth with the development of new offices, retail spaces, and industrial complexes. As more businesses and educational institutions establish their presence, the demand for both residential and commercial properties is expected to surge. Major real estate players recognize the potential and are investing heavily in large-scale developments.

Mr. Rahul Singla, Director of Mapsko Group said, “Sonipat is on the brink of a real estate revolution. The city’s evolving infrastructure, coupled with its strategic location near Delhi, makes it a hotbed for investors looking for substantial returns on investment. The burgeoning demand for quality residential and commercial properties in Sonipat is fueled by a combination of affordability, spacious layouts, and a better quality of life compared to the crowded metropolitan areas. With the rise of remote working models is encouraging more people to move away from traditional city centers. Every month, Sonipat is attracting not only locals but also people from Delhi and other metros who are looking for a peaceful yet connected place to settle. Sonipat’s emergence as a prime destination for real estate investment is attributed in large part to the city’s burgeoning plotted developments, which offer homebuyers spacious layouts and the opportunity to customize their dream homes. These plotted developments cater to the preferences of modern homebuyers, who prioritize both affordability and lifestyle quality. The well-planned plotted development in Sonipat is reshaping the real estate landscape, making the city the preferred choice for individuals seeking to invest in or settle down in a peaceful yet connected environment.”

Commenting on the evolving market dynamics, Mohit Malhotra, Founder & CEO of NeoLiv, an integrated residential real estate platform, remarked, “NeoLiv embraces a forward-looking ethos, where innovation and opportunity intersect. We envision that new age cities like Sonipat will become the crucibles of future economic dynamism. Their appeal lies in a harmonious mix of affordability, accessibility, and lifestyle amenities, offering new relaxed havens of living. As living preferences evolve and government initiatives take root, these cities are uniquely positioned to reshape the real estate narrative, attracting investors, homeowners, and businesses alike. With the emergence of large global level industries such as the upcoming Maruti Suzuki plant in vicinity of Sonipat belt, these locations are poised to drive demand for mid-income housing projects and plotted developments, transforming into vibrant residential neighbourhoods”
