RBI Likely To Maintain Status Quo On Interest Rates, Economists Expect No Change

RNE Network.

The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) six-member Monetary Policy Committee, headed by Governor Sanjay Malhotra, began its bi-monthly meeting yesterday to deliberate on interest rates. The rate decision will be announced tomorrow morning.

Most economists expect the RBI to maintain the status quo, noting that the central bank has already cut the repo rate by 125 basis points since early 2025 and inflation remains well below the 4 per cent target.
