Nifty Realty Index Jumps 2% in Quiet Market as Rate Cut Boosts Real Estate Stocks

On June 17, 2025, real estate shares rallied on the NSE, with stocks like Sunteck Realty, DLF, Godrej Properties, Lodha (Macrotech), and Oberoi Realty gaining up to 4%, even as the broader market stayed subdued.

RBI’s Rate Cuts Fuel Optimism

The surge in realty stocks follows the RBI’s recent move on June 6 to cut the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5% and reduce the CRR by 100 basis points. These steps are expected to boost liquidity by ₹2.5 trillion by December 2025, lowering borrowing costs and improving credit flow to the housing sector.

Nifty Realty Outperforms

At 9:51 AM, the Nifty Realty index rose 1.2%, outperforming the Nifty 50, which dipped 0.3%. So far in June, Nifty Realty has jumped 9.4%, far ahead of the 0.5% rise in the Nifty 50. Over the last 2 months, the index has surged 23% compared to a 4.3% gain in the broader benchmark.

This rate-cutting cycle stands out for being proactive, supported by liquidity and credit growth. The realty sector, along with autos and financials, is showing early signs of revival.
