As house construction season kicks off, demand for dealers of sand, ready-mix concrete, and MS pipe rise across Tier-I cities: JD Mart Consumer Insights

–          Coimbatore leads Tier-II cities with maximum searches for construction materials

New Delhi, November 25, 2021: With the economy at large bouncing back to normalcy and revival in consumer sentiment, construction activities have renewed with increased vigour across Tier-I cities, leading to a high-demand for construction materials, as per the latest JD Mart Consumer Insights.

Searches for dealers for sand, MS (Mild Steel) pipe, and ready-mix concrete have been on the rise across Tier-I cities with Chennai seeing maximum demand for all materials on JD Mart, India’s latest B2B marketplace by Just Dial.

Tier-I cities witnessed a 13% QOQ growth in searches for sand dealers, 9% for MS pipe, and 8% for ready-mix concrete dealers as demand for residential real estate bounced back during this festive season after being hit by the after-effects of the second wave of COVID-19. Demand in Tie-II cities remained stable with marginal growth.

Speaking on this trend, a JD Mart spokesperson said, “We are in the phase that typically sees maximum house construction activities. While demand in Tier-I cities have risen, searches in Tier-II cities have also witnessed marginal growth, largely remaining stable. This trend not only hints at economic recovery across the country at large but also clearly indicates positive consumer confidence along with renewed vigour in the construction space. “

Chennai, Mumbai, and Bengaluru were the leading three Tier-I cities that witnessed maximum demand for sand dealers followed by Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad. Among Tier-II, Coimbatore, Patna, Visakhapatnam, Mysore, and Goa were the top-5 cities generating maximum demand.

Searches for MS pipe dealers remained highest in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore followed by other Tier-I cities like Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Pune, and Kolkata. Coimbatore, Indore, Nagpur, Jaipur, and Patna were the top 5 Tier-II cities that saw maximum searches for MS pipe.

Demand for ready-mix concrete dealers was the highest in Hyderabad, followed by Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata in Tier-I cities. Among Tier-II cities, maximum searches for ready-mix concrete dealers came from Coimbatore, Indore, Mysore, Chandigarh, and Ludhiana. 

Searches of cement dealers remained high in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata among Tier-I cities followed by Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad. In Tier-II cities, Jaipur saw maximum searches with Chandigarh, Bareilly, Lucknow, and Srinagar making the rest of the top-5.

RBI Holds Repo Rate at 5.25%; Realty Industry Sees Stability as Growth Driver The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% and retain its ‘neutral’ monetary policy stance in the third bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of FY27 has elicited a measured response from the real estate industry. While the sector had hoped for a rate cut to further enhance home loan affordability and stimulate housing demand, industry leaders believe the RBI’s decision reflects a balanced approach amid elevated global uncertainties, volatile energy prices, and inflationary concerns. They noted that stable interest rates will continue to support buyer confidence, provide financial predictability for developers, and sustain the momentum witnessed in the residential real estate market. Mr. Kamlesh Thakur, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% while retaining a neutral stance reflects a prudent approach amid global uncertainties and evolving inflation dynamics. While the industry was hopeful of a rate cut, policy stability itself provides confidence to both developers and homebuyers. With borrowing costs remaining unchanged, housing demand is expected to continue its momentum, particularly in the mid-income and premium segments. The upward revision of India’s GDP growth projection to 6.7% underscores the resilience of the domestic economy. Going forward, as inflation moderates in line with the RBI’s expectations, there could be room for a more accommodative monetary policy. A future rate cut would further improve housing affordability, strengthen buyer sentiment, and accelerate investments across the residential and commercial real estate sectors.” Mr. Kaushal Agarwal, Chairman, The Guardians Real Estate Advisory “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged brings continuity and predictability to the market at a time when global geopolitical developments and inflationary pressures continue to create uncertainty. Stable interest rates ensure that home loan EMIs remain broadly unchanged, allowing prospective buyers to make informed purchasing decisions without concerns over rising borrowing costs. The Indian housing market has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the past few years, supported by strong end-user demand, rising incomes, and growing confidence in the economy. With GDP growth projected at 6.7%, we expect housing demand to remain healthy across key micro-markets.” Mr. Shilpin Tater, Managing Director, Superb Realty “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate is a balanced move considering the current global economic environment and domestic inflation outlook. Policy stability is particularly important for the real estate sector as it enables developers to plan projects with greater financial certainty while allowing buyers to benefit from stable lending rates. Demand for quality residential & commercial developments, especially in well-connected urban locations, is expected to remain robust. We remain optimistic that supportive monetary measures in the future could further strengthen investment activity.” Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers “The RBI has adopted a measured and responsible approach by maintaining the repo rate while closely monitoring inflationary trends and global developments. Although a rate cut would have enhanced affordability for homebuyers, the decision to maintain stability provides confidence to both consumers and developers in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. The premium and luxury housing segments continue to witness healthy demand driven by aspirational buyers and strong wealth creation, while the broader residential market remains supported by genuine end-user demand. Stable financing costs, coupled with India’s improving growth outlook, should sustain market momentum.” Mr. Dhruman Shah, Promoter, Ariha Group “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged reflects its focus on balancing growth with inflation management amidst ongoing global uncertainties. For the real estate sector, policy continuity is a positive outcome as it preserves financial stability and ensures that financing conditions remain predictable for both developers and homebuyers. Stable interest rates, combined with sustained infrastructure investments and urbanization, will continue to support residential sales.”
