RBI Monetary Policy Committee maintains repo rate at 5.25 percent

The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) unanimously decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25 percent during its third bi-monthly meeting of the current financial year. Governor Sanjay Malhotra announced that the committee maintained a neutral stance, citing the need to balance resilient domestic economic activity against global geopolitical uncertainties and supply chain disruptions. While retail inflation reached 4.38 percent in June, exceeding the central bank's 4 percent target, the MPC noted that price pressures remain largely driven by food and fuel costs rather than broad-based economic factors.

What Happened

The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee held its third bi-monthly meeting of the financial year on Wednesday. Governor Sanjay Malhotra announced that the committee voted unanimously to maintain the repo rate at 5.25 percent. The decision was accompanied by a neutral policy stance, reflecting the committee's assessment of current economic conditions and global market volatility.

The decision comes as the central bank monitors the impact of the ongoing conflict in West Asia on global trade routes and energy prices. While headline retail inflation has risen above the 4 percent target, the committee observed that the increase is primarily concentrated in food and fuel sectors. The RBI also marginally increased its GDP growth forecast for the fiscal year to 6.7 percent, citing continued resilience in domestic demand.
