MUMBAI - Garima Kapoor, deputy head of research and economist, Elara Capital, said the following on the Reserve Bank of India's sixth bi-monthly monetary policy for 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) detailed on Friday:
Focusing on effective transmission of rate cuts already taken and being encouraged by healthy growth trajectory in the economy RBI's Monetary Policy Committee decided to keep repo rate unchanged while awaiting new GDP and CPI series.
With inflation expected to rise hereon amid normalisation of food prices and adverse base effect, the scope for further rate cuts has shrunk. A shock to growth-inflation balance would only propel another rate cut. For now, we expect a prolonged pause from the RBI. End
