MUMBAI - Jigar Trivedi, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities, said the following on the Reserve Bank of India's fifth bi-monthly monetary policy statement for 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) detailed on Friday:
The Reserve Bank of India lowered its key repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25% during its December 2025 meeting and maintained a neutral stance, in line with market expectations. The decision comes amid easing inflation and robust GDP growth, despite a weakening rupee. The central bank has now cut rates by a total of 125 bps since the beginning of the year, bringing the repo rate to its lowest level since July 2022. On the economic outlook, the RBI raised its GDP growth forecast for FY26 to 7.3%, up from a previous estimate of 6.8%, with Q3 at 7.0%, Q4 at 6.5%. Meanwhile, headline inflation projections were revised down to 2.0% from 2.6%, keeping it well within the central bank's 2–6% target range. End
