The quote of Tata Realty & Infrastructure Limited:
“It’s not about repo rate cut but the transmission and high spread lenders are still charging with the exception of few.
The RBI’s decision to
cut repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.15% is the 5th consecutive rate
cut this calendar year, in total 135 bps. However, it seems that the
weighted average lending rate on fresh loans by
commercial banks has not reduced in sync, at least until the last rate
cut in August it reduced by only 29 bps, which is hurting and has raised
a concern on whether this is adequate to arrest volatility in markets,
cool down the overheating political climate
and bring GDP growth back to 7-8%. More decisive 30-40 basis cut was
envisaged by many. The markets overall are disappointed.
The demand for
residential in the real estate space has been poor.
The repo rate cut
coupled with slashing of corporate tax rate to 22% and set up of Stress
Fund of INR 20,000 crore are all measures to help
revive the industry and thereby the economy. We believe this may not be
adequate. Rise in NCLT cases is also not helping the sector.
We look forward to the
Government’s constant support to help bring the real estate industry
back to global forefront while ensuring the overall economic growth of
the country”
