On April 8, 2026, at the Monetary Policy Committee meeting, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) decided to maintain the repo rate at 5.25%.

This decision has been welcomed by real estate developers and industry experts, as this wait-and-watch approach offers stability amid the growing West Asia conflict. The decision to keep the repo rate unchanged also allows for better planning among homebuyers, as they benefit from stable EMIs and the potential for long-term savings.
