'RBI may cut interest rate by 25 bps amid subdued inflation, strong GDP'

The RBI may trim the benchmark lending rate by 25 bps in its forthcoming monetary policy meeting, as inflationary pressures are subdued, though some experts believe the central bank is likely to keep the rate unchanged in the backdrop of better-than-expected GDP growth of 8.2 per cent in the second quarter. The consumer price index (CPI) based headline retail inflation is ruling below the 2 per cent lower band mandated by the government for the last two months. Some experts, however, believe that the RBI may continue with the pause on interest rates as economic growth has picked up, sustained by fiscal consolidation, targeted public investment, and various reforms, such as the GST rate cut. The Monetary Policy Committee meeting is scheduled from December 3-5, 2025. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra is scheduled to announce the decision of rate-setting panel on December 5. The central bank started its rate-easing cycle in February last year. It has cumulatively reduced the repo rate by

State Bank of India is confident of achieving its 3 per cent net interest margin guidance even if the Reserve Bank decides to cut the repo rate by 0.25 per cent in next week's monetary policy review, Chairman C S Setty said. In an interview with PTI, the SBI chairman said that the RBI decision next Friday will be a "close call" and added that the house view at SBI is pointing towards a shallow cut of 0.25 per cent. "...if December rate cut is there, but our house view again is that it would be a shallow rate cut of 0.25 per cent, so it may not have any significant impact on the margins," he said. Earlier this month, before the release of official data pointing to inflation cooling to the lowest ever rate of 0.29 per cent in October, SBI had opined that RBI will opt for a pause in December and cut the interest rate in February.
