Q:Right after the RBI's decision to keep the repo rates unaffected, 3 ace Indian Banks, which include the State Bank of India, ICICI and HDFC, leaders in the private sector, have cut their base lending rates.
Latest Answer: Earlier, this year, there is a significantly rate cuts (twice) by the bank effect the realty market as sales in Pune have settled down over the last 3 qtrs, and the most strength being seen mainly in the budget homes segment. This clearly indicates that the market is manipulated towards budget homes, and reduction in interest rates is a critical factor in affordability. I expect to have sales momentum to start lifting clearly, and also believe that more rate cuts will follow on the heels of the stronger economic signals being felt in the country.
