Kandivali– The Real Estate Hub Of Tomorrow

By Mr. Amit Ruparel, Managing Director, Ruparel realty.

New Delhi, March 21, 2018: Lately, Mumbai’s real estate sector has been witnessing a massive rise in the popularity of its northern zones. Homeowners have been favouring locations in the western suburbs, especially Kandivali, in particular, owing to its excellent connectivity and infrastructure. The tremendous response to the launch of our projects in Kandivali further reaffirmed the fact that we made the right decision, and evidenced the growing interest of homeowners in the area.

An extremely multicultural locality, Kandivali West is primarily home to salaried professionals and businessmen belonging to the Gujarati and Jain communities, but is also populated by many Maharashtrians, DawoodiBohra Muslims, and East Indian Catholics. The mark of a good locality is the availability of all the facilities that a homeowner would want, in close proximity, like schools, colleges, hospitals, entertainment areas, sports grounds, and restaurants, to name a few. In light of this, Mahavir Nagar is an excellent residential hub, which, besides being stylish, also boasts of clubs, a gymkhana, malls, fine-dining restaurants, and even places of worship. As such, many people from Walkeshwar, Nepean Sea Road, and even Marine Drive of South Mumbai, have shifted there, owing to the space constraint and high prices of properties elsewhere.Kandivali also has a number of malls, like the Infiniti Mall and theInorbitMall, the Sachin Tendulkar Gymkhana,the Poisar Gymkhana,and many other recreation centres,located close by.

Housing some of the tallest towers in Kandivali, besides several cinemas, restaurants, and parks, the locality has seen rapid development lately, and has made Kandivali an affordable location, especially for the middle class. Earlier, regular 1BHK and 2BHK apartments in the suburbs were too expensive for homeowners, but government initiatives like the PradhanMantriAwasYojna (PMAY) helped lower the interest rates, allowing more and more people to purchase properties. Despite being highly disruptive, even GST and RERA were unable to hinder sales, and Kandivali continues to be a prime location for homeowners looking to invest.

In addition to that, the connectivity with major travel and commercial landmarks like the ChhatrapatiShivaji International Airport, MIDC, and Mindspace, has proven to be a boon as well, making commute easier for residents. The demand for real estate is expected to rise further, as a result of the infrastructural development set to happen in the area, such as the Andheri-Dhaisar metro line, the Dahisar-Bandra-Mankhurd metro line, and the 29.2 km coastal road starting from South Mumbai’s Princess Street flyover in Marine Lines, andending atKandivli. Besides the Western Express Highway on the east, and S.V. Road and Link Road on the west, the Kandivalirailway station, on the Western Line also facilitates easy transport and commute. Owing to these factors, and the infrastructural plans underway, Kandivali has become an excellent market for home owners looking to buy properties.

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.”
