\n

On 6-6-2025, the Reserve Bank of India<\/span> (\u2018RBI<\/span>\u2019) released its Monetary Policy Statement for 2025-26<\/span>, setting the new repo rate<\/span>, decided at 55th<\/span> meeting of by the Monetary Policy Committee (\u2018MPC<\/span>\u2019) held from 4-6-25 to 6-6-2025. The revised policy repo rate will be applicable from 6-6-2025.<\/p>\n

Key Points from RBI\u2019s revised Monetary Policy Statement and New Repo Rate:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    In a meeting led by the Governor of RBI<\/span>, Mr. Sanjay Malhotra, the MPC voted to reduce the policy repo rate by 50 basis points (bps) bringing it to 5.50%<\/span><\/span>. This adjustment is initiated as part of RBI\u2019s broader mandate to achieve a medium-term consumer price index (\u2018CPI\u2019<\/span>) inflation target along with achieving the sustained economic growth<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    The reduction in repo rate marks a strategic shift in India’s monetary policy<\/span>, reflecting confidence in inflation control and a commitment to economic growth. The consumers and businesses will benefit from lower borrowing costs, but the uncertainties of market remain, which will require a close monitoring of global and domestic factors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    The Standing Deposit Facility rate is now 5.25%, while the Marginal Standing Facility rate and Bank Rate have been adjusted at 5.75%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    The RBI has shifted its policy stance from \u2018accommodative<\/span>\u2019 to \u2018neutral<\/span>\u2019 indicating a more balanced approach to future financial policy decisions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    The MPC highlighted robust economic growth, with Gross Domestic Product (\u2018GDP<\/span>\u2019) expanding by 7.4% in Quarter 4 of 2024-25. The GDP growth for 2025-26 stands at 6.5%.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    The decision to reduce repo rate is based on declining inflation, as CPI inflation moderated to 3.2% in April 2025<\/span>, marking its lowest level in nearly six<\/span> years.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    The policy shift aims to stimulate investment and private consumption, both essential for sustained economic expansion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    The MPC minutes will be formally published on 20-6-2025, in compliance with transparency norms.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  9. \n

    The MPC will closely monitor economic conditions<\/span> before deciding future policy adjustments. The next MPC meeting is scheduled from 4-8-2025 to 6-8-2025.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  10. \n

    By reducing the repo rate, the RBI aims to balance inflation control with economic growth, preventing excessive inflation or financial instability<\/span> while enhancing borrowing and spending capacity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
