SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence RBI Policy Decoded The Repo Rate Hike: Inflation Gave the Cover, the Rupee Gave the Reason The RBI raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent on 7 October 2026. With the rupee at ₹96.78 to the dollar, the Fed at 3.75–4.00 percent and bank credit growing near 18 percent, the fuller story is bigger than August CPI of 4.8 percent. The Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent on 7 October 2026. It is the first hike since February 2023, and the stance has moved from neutral to calibrated tightening. The rate decision was unanimous. The Governor cited inflation. The Monetary Policy Committee said the inflation outlook is no longer as comfortable as it was last year, and near-term rate cuts were taken off the table.

Small Flats Are Back In Mumbai as Sales Dry Up:
With realty sales drying up due to increasing prices, developers are now developing small homes priced to be within reach of middle-income homebuyers, especially the young. For instance, Netz Realty is coming up with studio apartments at Andheri and Mahim, with 300 to 450 sq ft furnished flats priced in the range of Rs 30-Rs 40 lakh. Ms Renuka Khekade, a spokesperson for Netz Realty said their target audience are young home buyers. She also said the trend of studio apartments is picking up in various metros, driven primarily by pent-up demand for affordable mid-range housing.
While Ankur Enterprises is offering 475-sq-ft one-bedroom-hall-kitchen flats in the Rs 30 lakh range at Nahur near Mulund, two other developers, Samarth Krupa and Aditya Builders have put on the market compact houses in the Rs 25-Rs 30 lakh range in Tilak Nagar at Chembur. Besides this trend, many developers who've acquired land at low prices to put up projects under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority scheme, or by way of redevelopment of old buildings, are also selling apartments at lesser prices to mop up volume. 
As per realty experts, given how desirable housing in the city is well out of reach of most buyers, the low-budget home is the closest they can get to a sure bet.

Housing Sector Gets More Funds Than Commercial Space
The residential segment is getting more fund flows than in the retail and commercial space. This signifies a half-baked recovery for the industry than a complete turnaround. "As a matter of strategy, bankers are not bullish on the commercial segment of the real estate industry due to higher supply in the segment. Today, it is perceived as a high risk exposure due to the slow pick up for leased out property," Mr H S Upendra Kamath, executive director, Canara Bank said. Canara Bank, which has a little less than Rs 2,500 crore exposure to the commercial real estate sector, has funded most of the projects in the residential space, he said. He also revealed that as demand was sound in the residential space with a good advance flow in the housing loan segment, banks were more willing to lend to this vertical..
