RBI's 50-bps repo cut to boost mid-income, affordable housing demand
The Reserve Bank of India 's decision to cut the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5% is expected to help improve housing affordability and prop up demand for residential properties across the country, especially in the mid-income and affordable housing segments, experts said. This is the third consecutive rate cut by the central bank so far in 2025 taking it to a cumulative 100 basis points. The rate cut comes amid signs of slowing momentum in housing sales in some markets, as sustained price increases begin to weigh on buyer sentiment. 'The rate cut is expected to bring down home loan interest rates, improving affordability and widening access to homeownership. This could provide a meaningful push for first-time buyers and households looking to upgrade, especially in price-sensitive urban and suburban markets. We expect this move to translate into increased enquiries and faster decision-making in the coming months,' said Deepak Goradia, CMD, Dosti Realty.

With home loan rates likely to ease following this rate reduction, realty developers are optimistic about a fresh wave of end-user activity. 'For the real estate sector, this rate reduction is set to bolster credit lending, accelerate buying velocity, and enhance development momentum. Lower mortgage rates make home ownership more attainable, driving greater demand. Additionally, this move could spur refinancing and strengthen investment in branded properties known for their attractive returns, particularly among Grade A developers,' said Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman, Hiranandani Group. Lower borrowing costs could also unlock fence-sitter demand in tier II and III cities, where salaried buyers are highly rate-sensitive. The low-cost and affordable housing segment--a key pillar of the government's objective of Housing for All--is expected to benefit the most as loan instalments become more manageable. The March quarter performance reflected continued stability in India's residential sector, with primary sales reaching 88,274 units, a 2% on-year increase, according to Knight Frank India. While overall sales remained steady, performance varied across markets, with the low-income and affordable segments lagging. Commercial real estate may also see indirect benefits. Reduced funding costs are expected to improve project viability for office and retail developments, especially in under-construction assets that rely on institutional debt.

Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025: Rent-To-Own, Walk-To-Work Vision Makes Housing A Right, Say Experts
Last Updated: The Maharashtra government has approved the Housing Policy 2025, aiming for 35 lakh affordable homes by 2030, focusing on EWS, LIG housing, slum redevelopment, and rental housing. Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025. In a landmark decision set to reshape the urban housing landscape, the Maharashtra government has approved the Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025, aimed at providing housing for all while ensuring sustainable and inclusive urban development. The policy lays out a comprehensive roadmap to tackle the challenges of affordability, slum rehabilitation, rental housing, and planned urban growth across the state. What is the Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025? The Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025 is a state-wide housing blueprint that envisions creating 35 lakh affordable homes by 2030, especially targeting Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Low-Income Groups (LIG). It seeks to achieve this through a combination of public-private partnerships, rental housing models, redevelopment of slums and chawls, and innovative ownership schemes like rent-to-own and self-redevelopment. It promotes the 'Majhe Ghar, Majha Adhikar' (My Home, My Right) initiative and aims to make housing more accessible, while reducing the pressure on city infrastructure by encouraging housing near industrial zones, thereby supporting the 'Walk to Work' concept. The policy also includes fast-track approvals for housing projects, land pooling mechanisms, promotion of green construction for climate action, and the creation of a centralised digital housing portal to enhance transparency and streamline processes for developers and homebuyers. 'Policy Sends Message That Housing Is Not A Luxury, It's A Right': Industry Players Real estate leaders have widely welcomed the policy, saying that the policy sends a clear message that housing is not a luxury, it's a right. Anuj Goradia, director at Dosti Realty, called the move remarkable, and said the blueprint addresses both sustainability and affordability. 'The new housing policy will be a progressive step towards affordable housing and will endow a significant boost to the sector by not only creating enormous employment opportunities but also bring in a win-win situation that can further ensure elevated living for the city dwellers across all the income groups," he said. He also highlighted how the policy promotes residential development around industrial zones, further enabling the 'Walk to Work' concept. 'One cannot ignore the inclusivity of this policy that promotes redevelopment of unplanned projects like slums, chawls, vertical slums, etc. We definitely look at this policy as an extremely transformational move for the state and a remarkable approach to housing that is futuristic and will boost investor confidence," he added. Nayan A Shah, chairman and managing director of Mayfair Housing, said the policy reflects a significant shift in recognizing housing as a right. 'The new Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025 is a much-needed shift towards making homeownership a reality for lakhs of families across the state. With its focus on affordable housing, rental stock, and slum rehabilitation, the policy sends a clear message that housing is not a luxury, it's a right." Shah emphasised how the policy can help fast-track development in upcoming regions like Virar. 'With this policy encouraging faster approvals, land pooling, and private participation, we see great potential to accelerate the delivery of quality homes for the aspiring middle class and working families." Jash Panchamia, promoter of Suraksha Smart City, praised the 'Majhe Ghar, Majha Adhikar' initiative and the focus on closing the housing gap. 'It addresses the urgent housing needs of the EWS and LIG housing needs while promoting solutions like self-redevelopment and rent-to-own models that are set to bridge the housing gap while paving the way for sustainable urban growth across the state." He also welcomed the digital and green measures in the policy. 'The integration of new-age technology using green practices for climate action are steps that will ensure responsible and future-ready construction. The proposed centralised digital housing portal will instil transparency and promote ease of doing business thus streamlining the system for developers and homebuyers alike."

Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025 offers major benefits for senior living buyers; Stamp duty reduced to flat ₹1,000
The Maharashtra government has finalised the Housing Policy 2025, introducing significant incentives for senior living housing projects. Under the new policy, stamp duty for buyers of such properties has been reduced to a flat ₹1,000, down from the current 5% to 7% of the property's value, depending on the location. In addition to the reduced stamp duty, the government will offer property tax concessions for owners of senior living homes. Developers of these projects will also benefit from various tax relaxations and enhanced Floor Space Index (FSI) allowances. This is Maharashtra's first comprehensive housing policy in nearly two decades. Announced last week, it addresses modern housing concepts such as senior citizen housing and student accommodation, aiming to promote inclusive and future-ready urban development. As part of the Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025, the state government plans to redevelop ageing and dilapidated old-age homes and orphanages located on government land. These facilities will be upgraded and integrated with senior citizen housing projects to better accommodate the growing elderly population. According to the policy, Maharashtra's elderly population accounted for around 10% of the total as per the 2011 Census, higher than the national average. This figure is projected to rise significantly, reaching 17% by 2036. The policy also highlights a shift in social structure, noting that joint families are increasingly giving way to nuclear households, creating a greater demand for independent senior living facilities. The government sees this redevelopment as a crucial step toward addressing the evolving housing and care needs of the elderly. Also Read: Maharashtra approves new housing policy after nearly two decades: 5 key highlights According to market sources, leading real estate developers such as Rustomjee Group and Dosti Realty are preparing to launch dedicated senior living housing projects in Maharashtra in the coming months. To promote this segment, the Maharashtra government, under its Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR), has introduced a separate category for senior citizen housing or retirement homes. These guidelines are part of the recently announced Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025, which aims to foster inclusive and age-friendly urban development. These measures aim to attract private investment into the senior housing sector while ensuring that the needs of elderly residents are met through thoughtful planning and infrastructure. Also Read: Dharavi redevelopment project gets a push as master plan receives Maharashtra government's approval Real estate developers have welcomed the Maharashtra government's new housing policy, particularly the relaxations and incentives for senior and student housing. They see the move as a progressive step toward addressing the evolving housing needs of specific demographic groups while encouraging private sector participation in these emerging segments. 'Addressing the growing demand for elderly-friendly housing is the need of the hour, and the Maharashtra government's new housing policy has a special mention of this. These actions will help the growth of senior living projects by making development more viable and attractive. Our understanding is that these policy reforms will benefit senior living housing projects in Maharashtra and set a benchmark through thoughtfully designed and well-supported developments," said Anuj Goradia, director of Mumbai-based Dosti Realty.
