RBI maintains key lending rates as inflation rises

Rising inflationary pressure prompted India's central bank, the RBI, on Wednesday to maintain its key lending rates.

According to the Reserve Bank of India's fourth bi-monthly monetary policy review of 2017-18, the repurchase rate, or the short-term lending rate for commercial banks on loans taken from it, has been maintained at 6 per cent.
