The RBI, India's central bank, decided to keep a key interest rate called the repo rate at 5.5%.

This means it didn't raise or lower the cost of borrowing money for banks.

This decision is good for people buying homes because it keeps interest rates steady.

Real estate experts wanted a rate cut, which could have made buying homes cheaper and boosted the market.
