Mumbai, June 11, 2025: In a significant leadership transition, Mr. Vikas Jain, CEO of Labdhi Lifestyle, has been unanimously appointed as President of NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen, the youth-oriented arm of the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), Maharashtra. A first-generation developer from Mumbai, Mr. Jain succeeds Mr. Ridham Gada, who now assumes the role of Vice-Chairman, NextGen.

With the Indian real estate sector on the brink of a transformative phase and projected to reach a market size of US$1 trillion by 2030, Mr. Jain’s appointment comes at a crucial juncture. As a proven turnaround specialist with a track record of reviving stressed projects, his appointment will help the NextGen benefit from his vast experience in Finance. Beyond Finance, Mr. Jain also outlined a broader, more holistic vision for his tenure. Key focus areas include strengthening RERA compliance to enhance accountability and consumer confidence and driving technology adoption across the real estate value chain to improve efficiency, transparency, and service delivery.

Speaking on his appointment, Mr. Vikas Jain said, “It is an honor to lead NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen. This platform provides an incredible opportunity to empower the next generation of real estate leaders while addressing some of the industry’s most pressing challenges.” 

Mr. Jain went on to add, “Each year the incoming President selects a theme around which the activity calendar for the association is built. Finance will be our theme for the year 25-26 with key focus on furthering our constituents knowledge on raising and structuring capital valuations, access to new capital structures and public finances etc. The sector needs to build a credible and transparent ecosystem to attract consistent capital inflows.”

“As a next-generation leader, I believe our approach must be future-ready and multidimensional,” he added. “Along with financial reforms, we must professionalize the management of real estate businesses and embed a culture of innovation, governance, and customer-centricity. The goal is to empower the next generation of developers to be not just builders, but responsible, forward-thinking entrepreneurs.” 

Mr. Prashant Sharma, President of NAREDCO Maharashtra, welcomed the appointment: “Vikas Jain’s entrepreneurial acumen, sharp financial insight, and deep understanding of real estate dynamics make him the ideal choice to lead NextGen. His tenure will be pivotal in advancing financing-led growth, nurturing young professionals, and making the sector more transparent and resilient.” 

Mr. Ridham Gada, now Vice-Chairman of NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen, added, “Vikas brings vision, vigor, and the right focus at a crucial time. With project financing as the central agenda, I’m confident his leadership will catalyze transformative progress for developers and homebuyers alike.”

Mr. Jain brings a wealth of experience to the role. As CEO of Labdhi Lifestyle Limited, he has successfully built a trusted brand in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), delivering projects known for quality and timely execution. His leadership is defined by a strategic, finance-first approach — aligning perfectly with NextGen’s renewed focus.

NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen aims to foster a vibrant platform for young professionals to collaborate, innovate, and drive industry reform. Mr. Jain’s presidency marks a new chapter for NAREDCO Maharashtra NextGen, with a renewed commitment to driving excellence, inclusivity, and innovation in the real estate sector.

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.”
