Gaurav K Singh, Chairman and Founder, Womeki Group said, “Stable interest rates are helping sustain homebuyer confidence and supporting purchase decisions, especially in end-user-driven markets. For developers, predictable borrowing costs aid better cash flow planning and timely project execution. In the NCR region, this stability is translating into steady residential sales momentum, with mid-income and affordable housing segments continuing to see strong traction across key micro-markets.”
