Mkt eyes turnround in affordable home sales after repo rate cut
Kolkata: Property developers in Kolkata anticipate increased sales of affordable housing units, priced around Rs 50 lakh, following the cumulative 1% reduction in repo rate since Feb. Kolkata's affordable housing sector, traditionally robust in this cost-conscious market, experienced notable variations in recent years due to increasing interest rates and economic constraints. "We expect the affordable home market to revive following the RBI's rate cut, which should lead to a 1% reduction in home loan rates since Feb," said NK Realtors president (brand, consulting & sales) Biplab Kumar. Between 2021 and 2023, RBI's policy changes elevated home loan rates from 6.5% to 9%, resulting in 25%-30% higher EMIs and 15%-20% price increases by developers. Consequently, properties under Rs 50 lakh declined from 63% market share in 2019 to 47% in 2023. The sector showed recovery signs in early 2024, with Q1 registering 12% year-on-year growth in sub-Rs 50 lakh sales. The recent repo rate cut is anticipated to enhance affordability and stimulate demand, with developers suggesting possible price dip. "Home buyers will also witness a steady improvement in affordability. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Keep Your Home Efficient with This Plug-In elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo While each cut, including the recent 50 bps, may seem small individually, together they significantly lower borrowing costs and lighten EMI burdens. A Rs 45-lakh home loan at 9% for 20 years sees major benefits from a 100 bps rate cut so far, with total interest reducing by Rs 6.84 lakh (from Rs 52.17 lakh to Rs 45.33 lakh). In a 20-year tenure, the EMI will be down by Rs 2,848 a month," Kumar said. Knight Frank India's national director (research) Vivek Rathi believes these changes will strengthen buyers' purchasing capacity in Kolkata's price-sensitive market, particularly benefiting first-time homeowners, seeking properties below Rs 50 lakh, which represented 41% of Q1 2025 residential sales. CREDAI leadership, including Kolkata president Siddharth Pansari and Bengal president Sushil Mohta, noted the rate reduction's positive impact on developer borrowing costs. Mohta highlighted that CRR reduction would assist in expediting delayed affordable housing projects. He also felt the rate cut would enable developers to pass on the benefits to homebuyers, supporting demand across all segments, not just affordable housing, but also mid and premium categories, as well as commercial real estate. Anarock Group's chairman Anuj Puri suggested that improved bank liquidity and reduced developer credit costs would expedite project completion and inventory absorption in Kolkata. Developers Sanjay Jain of Siddha Group, Rishi Jain of Jain Group and Sahil Saharia of Shristi Infrastructure welcomed the RBI's decision as beneficial for affordable housing buyers.

MU's traditional BA, BSc, BCom to get ‘skills edge'
Mumbai: Skill-integrated BA, B Com, and B Sc courses are likely to be rolled out by Mumbai University from the next academic year, 2026-27. With interest in traditional courses in the city declining, as seen in this year's degree college admission cut-offs, skill-integrated courses may offer a meaningful shift. The skill-integrated courses, a scheme announced by University Grants Commission (UGC), will allow students to get theoretical education of the core subject for 50% of their total credits, and the remaining 50% can be obtained from multidisciplinary studies. The university plans to launch these programmes in collaboration with Maharashtra Skill Development Society, a senior university official said. UGC's former chairman, M Jagadesh Kumar, who was at Mumbai University for a conference on 'Vikas 2025' (Venturing into Industry Knowledge, Apprenticeship and Skilling), said that of the 4.5 crore students pursuing higher education in the country, 70% are enrolled in BA, BCom, and B Sc, and that it is a challenge to empower them in the competitive era. "In the skill-integrated courses, students will complete the 50% credits in the core subject, be it BA in history or anthropology, and the remaining 50% credits can be earned through different skills – 10% in hospitality, 10% in machine learning, and so on. These skill-oriented courses can either be designed by the universities or they can allow students to complete it on platforms such as Swayam. At the end of their four-year programme, the skilled workforce will be readily absorbed by industries," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo UGC set up an expert panel, which is meeting companies from different sectors, to design industry-specific courses.

These courses will be uploaded on the Swayam portal, said Kumar. Higher education minister Chandrakant Patil said the state govt is taking initiatives to restructure courses as per industry needs, focusing on skill development knowledge. About 500 dignitaries from Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat attended the conference. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Eid wishes , messages , and quotes !
