"The RBI's 25 bps repo rate hike to 5.50% is a calibrated step to anchor inflation amid global volatility. While borrowing costs may inch up marginally, long-term stability of the rupee helps in attracting global capital and will benefit the real estate sector. The demand for premium housing and commercial assets continues to be strong and is driven by wealth creation."
By:-Mr. Rajan Luthra, CFO, ACE- Action Construction Equipment said,
“The RBI’s decision to raise the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% reflects a calibrated tightening in response to evolving inflationary pressures and persistent global uncertainties. While geopolitical developments and global commodity price volatility remain key risks, India’s economic fundamentals continue to remain resilient.
For the construction equipment sector, higher financing costs may impact investment decisions in the near term. However, sustained government capex and infrastructure activity across roads, railways and urban development should continue to support demand and sector growth. At ACE, we remain focused on product innovation and strengthening our capabilities to meet India’s evolving infrastructure needs. With strong long-term fundamentals, we remain committed to our growth plans and supporting India’s infrastructure development.”
