The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting is currently underway, with the outcome expected to be announced shortly. Headed by Governor Shaktikanta Das, the committee is deliberating on inflation control, growth projections, and repo rate decisions that will shape India’s financial landscape for the months ahead.
What’s on the Table?
📌 Repo Rate: Expected to remain unchanged at 6.50%, but markets await confirmation
📌 Inflation Forecast: Rising food prices in July may push inflation concerns
📌 GDP Growth Outlook: Likely to be revised based on monsoon impact and global trends
📌 Liquidity Management: RBI may address surplus liquidity in the banking system
What Experts Are Saying
Economists suggest a status quo on rates is most likely as the central bank tries to balance growth and inflation. With global cues mixed and domestic inflation inching upward, the RBI may opt for a "wait and watch" approach.
