Ashwinder R. Singh Appointed Chairman of CII Real Estate Committee (NR)

Veteran real estate leader to drive policy, investment, and innovation in real estate

New Delhi, April 04, 2025: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has appointed Ashwinder R. Singh as the new Chairman of the CII Real Estate Committee (NR). Singh steps into the role after serving as Co-Chair for two years and leading CII’s real estate delegations to the UAE in 2024 and Singapore in 2025, where he played an instrumental role in advancing cross-border industry collaboration.

With a career spanning over two and a half decades, Singh currently serves as the Vice Chairman of BCD Group, one of India’s oldest construction enterprises, with a built-up portfolio of over 150 million square feet. Since joining BCD in August 2024, he has overseen the launch of BCD City, a 70-acre integrated township in Hoskote, Bengaluru, marking a significant milestone in the group’s foray into large-scale real estate development.

Singh’s professional journey includes senior leadership roles such as CEO of Bhartiya Urban, CEO of JLL Residential, and Co-founder & CEO of ANAROCK, where he played a defining role in formalising and scaling residential real estate advisory in India. A former senior banker, he has worked with Citibank, Deutsche Bank, ICICI Bank, Fullerton Singapore, and Bajaj Housing Finance, where he led home loans and construction finance for developers.

He has been a steady voice in the Indian real estate industry for over a decade—widely respected for his focus on building institutions through technology, process, and systems. In addition, he is a member of the CII Startup Committee (NR) and the author of three books on the real estate sector, including the well-received Master Residential & Commercial Real Estate.

“Real estate in India is entering a defining phase. As Chairman of the CII Real Estate Committee (NR), I hope to strengthen the alignment between policy, capital and innovation to help the sector grow more efficiently,” said Singh. “I’m grateful to CII for its continued trust. It has long played a pivotal role in shaping India’s industrial and economic journey.”

In his new role, Singh will focus on:

                •             Enabling policy clarity and expanding access to capital

                •             Driving sustainability and digital adoption

                •             Strengthening public-private collaboration

                •             Improving housing affordability and regional planning

Singh remains actively involved with the sector through industry forums, mentoring startups, and building institutional frameworks for long-term urban growth.

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.”
