In boardrooms and on construction sites alike, few policy decisions carry as much weight for the Indian real estate sector as the Reserve Bank of India's repo rate call. On April 8, 2026, the Monetary Policy Committee chose to keep the rate unchanged at 5.25% — a move that, on the surface, sounds like the absence of news. But for home buyers, developers, and investors watching closely, it is anything...

Every few years, India announces a mega infrastructure project. An airport. An expressway. An industrial corridor. Farmland is acquired, compensation is paid, and the news cycle moves on. But what happens to the families left behind — now suddenly holding crores in cash and no land to farm? The answer, as Jewar's development corridor makes painfully clear, is complicated. And it has very little to do...
