Stable Repo Rate at 5.25Percent to Boost Managed Offices, GCC Expansion in Tier 2 & 3 Cities: DevX
By:- Mr. Umesh Uttamchandani, Managing Director, DevX
The decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% aligns perfectly with the growth oriented framework that complements the Union Budget 2026. By ensuring financial predictability, the central bank is fostering an environment ripe for long term investment. This stability is a massive catalyst for the managed office sector as it allows occupiers to plan without fear of volatility.
The policy continuity is further accelerating the movement of Global Capability Centers into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Moreover, with the recent India US trade agreement and tariff reductions driving fresh demand from international enterprises, we are witnessing a dual benefit. These emerging markets are now viable growth engines due to untapped talent and better connectivity. We anticipate this stable rate regime will spur aggressive expansion and demand for flexible workspaces across both established hubs and these new regional frontiers.
