MUMBAI | August 6, 2025| SKY LINK TIMES
In a widely anticipated move, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.50%, maintaining its monetary policy stance as ‘Neutral’. The announcement was made by RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra following the conclusion of the central bank’s third bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting for FY26, held from August 4 to 6.
Governor Malhotra emphasized that the RBI has already frontloaded easing measures earlier this year. These included a 50 basis points (bps) repo rate cut during the June policy and a significant 100 bps reduction in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) from 4% to 3%.
“Given the evolving macroeconomic conditions and the impact of prior policy actions, the MPC has decided to hold the repo rate steady at 5.50%. The stance remains neutral,” Malhotra said during the policy address.

This decision comes amid signs of a modest recovery in inflation and continued global uncertainty, with the RBI striking a cautious balance between supporting growth and maintaining price stability.
The next RBI policy meet is scheduled for October 2025, where markets will closely watch for signals on future rate direction amid shifting domestic and global trends.
