RBI MPC begins meet amid hopes of 25-50 bps rate cut to boost growth

The Reserve Bank's rate-setting panel started its three-day brainstorming on monetary policy as expectations are high of a 25 bps or even a jumbo 50 bps rate cut to fuel economic growth amid uncertainties created by Trump's tariff moves. The decision of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), headed by Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra, will be announced on Friday. The RBI reduced the key interest rate (repo) by 25 bps each in February and April, bringing it to 6 per cent. This could be the third back-to-back reduction in the short-term benchmark lending rate. In response to the 50-bps cut in the policy repo rate since February 2025, most of the banks have reduced their repo-linked external benchmark-based lending rates (EBLRs) and marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR). Experts are of the view that the RBI may reduce the repo rate by 25 bps on Friday and another similar cut in the next policy. However, an SBI research expects the central bank to go in for a "jumbo" rat

RBI's rate cut to have limited impact, more needed to boost housing: Credai

Realtors' apex body CREDAI on Friday said the RBI's decision to cut benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points might have "limited direct impact" and sought further reduction in the next monetary policy meet for "stronger impetus" to housing demand. Reduction in repo rate may lead to lowering of interest rates on home loans provided banks decide to pass on the benefits. Commenting on the monetary policy announcement, CREDAI National President Boman Irani said, "The RBI's decision to reduce repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25 per cent supplements recent announcements in the Budget aimed at boosting spending and spur economic growth." This supportive monetary policy was "imperative", especially after the recent 50 basis points reduction in Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), which has already injected significant liquidity into the banking system, he added. "While the current cut may have a limited direct impact, we anticipate that a further rate cut in the next MPC meeting will provide strong

In order to check cyber security threats, the Reserve Bank on Friday decided that Indian banks will have exclusive internet domain name 'bank.in' and non-bank financial entities 'fin.in'.
