Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said, "The Real Estate Sentiment Index is extremely cautious while remaining in the optimistic zone. This is happening due to the sharp change in the geopolitical situation and domestic economic conditions. He said, changes in global economic policy, especially the change in the US tariff regime, as well as the slowdown in domestic growth are forcing the real estate sector to adopt a more cautious stance. In the coming quarters, developers and investors are expected to maintain a wait and watch approach, aiming to maintain the momentum built by the sector in the last few years.
