How RBI repo rate hike may impact fixed deposit, loan & real estate ... (Livemint)

As highly anticipated, the Reserve Bank of India raised its key repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 6.50% on Wednesday.

From this declaration, it is clear that India will maintain its sustainable growth with price stability on the back of GDP growth projection of 6.4% and an inflation projection of 5.3% for FY 2023-24. As highly anticipated, the Reserve Bank of India raised its key repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 6.50% on Wednesday.

RBI hikes repo rate by 25 bps: How much will your home loan EMI ... (India Today)

Home loan EMIs will go up for both existing and new borrowers with the fresh hike, since banks, housing finance companies and other lending organisations ...

The sustained increase in the key repo rate is also likely to dent sentiments of the real estate sector in the near-term. This is why several banks have now started increasing tenure in response to the rate hikes. Your home loans will go up because the repo rate, which is the rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks, is directly linked to loan interest rates offered by lenders. Most home loans that are being offered by banks already have an interest rate of more than 9 per cent, and they do not have enough room to extend the tenure any further. This will result in borrowers paying more towards the EMI and extending the tenor of the loan." Ravi, former chairman, BSE, said, "This repo rate hike is likely to make business loans costlier as well as of the retail consumer loan products, including home loans.

RBI Repo Rate Hike: How Will Fixed Deposit, Loan EMI, Real Estate ... (India.com)

This would in turn curtail the expenditure done by the retail customers of the banks,” he said. “Due to this more people would be inclined to invest in the FDs thereby creating a shortage of free-floating money in the market. Archit Gupta, Founder and CEO, Clear, told Live Mint that as the repo rate is hiked the banks will now have to pay a higher amount of interest to the RBI which in turn shall be collected from the retail/ corporate borrowers of the banks. “With the current increase in repo rate by 25 basis points, we expect the banks to respond positively and procure additional deposits by increasing the deposit rates to attractive levels.

RBI hikes repo rate for 6th time in a row: What market experts make ... (Mintgenie)

However, the monetary policy committee (MPC) left the door open for future hikes saying that the sticky core inflation remains a concern to India's economic ...

“While the rate hike of 25bps is on expected lines, the markets were expecting the monetary stance to 'neutral'. The central bank's focus on growth despite their policy stance being the withdrawal of accommodative policy will support the recovery and price stability. Going forward, the central bank is likely to become more data-dependent, and this does not rule out another rate hike in the upcoming policy. Going by the commentary on inflation and growth we expect a maximum of one more hike as inflation has softened. The highlight of the monetary policy announcement which came on expected lines is the better-than-expected increase in estimated GDP growth rate for FY24 to 6.4 percent with sharp upward revision in FY Q1 and G2 growth rates to 7.8 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively. The RBI will continue to vigil on the inflation outlook. As per the latest print on 27th Jan’23, while credit growth was healthy on a YoY basis, it de-grew marginally on a fortnightly basis, probably hinting at a reluctance to borrow at higher rates. RBI raised the policy repo rate by 25 bps to 6.5 percent. This was the sixth consecutive repo rate hike by the RBI in the current financial year FY23 to keep inflation in check. The RBI MPC expectedly increased the policy rate by 25 bps with a balanced tone, albeit non-committal and data dependent, partly as inflation is still around the 6 percent upper tolerance mark, even though it is poised to ease. With this hike of 25 bps, the one-year ahead estimated real repo rate will likely get fairly positive (implying a pause, although not necessarily an end to the cycle). For FY24, the GDP growth is projected at 6.4 percent while CPI inflation is seen at 5.3 percent with risks evenly balanced on either side.

Analysts expect another 25 bps repo rate hike in RBI's April policy (Economic Times)

The continuous increase in Fed rates has made the monetary policymaking for emerging economy central banks now a difficult proposition.

Against this background, there is an active debate on the timing and sequencing of monetary stance around the world. Sticky core inflation could mean that the repo rate could remain at 6.5 per cent for longer, Crisil economists said in a note. Interestingly, the spread is now constant at 192 basis points since December 2022. The continuous increase in Fed rates has made the monetary policymaking for emerging economy central banks now a difficult proposition. He said that the more-than-expected hawkish stance was clear from how the market reacted--- the 10-year bond yield rose to 7.34 per cent post-policy from the last closing level of 7.31 per cent. But we see a change in stance to neutral is unlikely until the RBI pauses its rate hike cycle," Barua said.

How will the RBI repo rate hike impact the housing sector (Zee Business)

The impact of home loan interest rate hike would be highly a deterrent in the affordable housing segment, said property developers and consultants.

The hike in repo rate will not have a major impact on the demand in the medium to long run, said Anurag Mathur, CEO, Savills India. On the optimistic side, we hope not to foresee a further rise in the repo rate and a resultant increase in loan rates." The repeated rate hikes may have a short-term impact on overall housing demand and the buyers' overall acquisition cost would go up, said Ramani Sastri, Chairman & MD, Sterling Developers. Aniket Bharadia, Co-Founder of PropCatalyst, said: "We have consistently seen rate hikes for last 2 years, which has hurt multiple businesses a lot, especially real estate and allied industries. Sanjay Dutt, MD & CEO, Tata Realty & Infrastructure Ltd, said, "From a real estate standpoint, the rate hike will push the home loan interest rate further. Square Yards Co-founder and CFO Piyush Bothra said the hike would make home loans more expensive, but it still remains lower than the historical home loan rates. Atul Banshal, Director Finance, Omaxe Ltd, said there will be a short-term impact on the mid-segment and affordable housing. "However the demand fundamentals remain strong as they are linked to job confidence," Dutt said. Real estate consultant Anarock Chairman Anuj Puri said, "With repo rates now at 6.5 per cent, there could be some repercussions on housing uptake as home loan interest rates will head further north. However, many industry experts said strong demand momentum in the residential segment would remain intact while some said there would not be much impact. This will add to the financial burden on homebuyers as apart from home loan interest rates, property prices have also inched up in the recent past two to three quarters." NAREDCO National Vice Chairman Niranjan Hiranandani said, "The outrageous hike of 250 basis point since May 2021 needs to be warranted before it turns negative for the ascending Indian economic growth curve."
