Industry leaders said the step would help strengthen market sentiment, ease borrowing costs, and encourage investment.

Talk of a possible 25-bps repo rate cut sparked mixed reactions across the real estate and investment community. Ankur Jalan, CEO of Golden Growth Fund, said depositors may worry about lower returns as banks reduce deposit rates, pushing many wealthy investors toward higher-yield options such as real estate-focused AIFs.
