RBI's rate cut, monetary stance change to 'accommodative' timely: Experts

The RBI decision to reduce the key interest rate by 25 bps and revise its monetary stance to 'accommodative' is a timely move and will cushion the secondary impact of tariffs on domestic economy, industry players said. Industry players, including banks, NBFCs, and realtors, also said that the Reserve Bank's latest monetary policy augurs well for the economy amid global trade uncertainties. SBI Chairman C S Setty said the RBI rate cut coupled with the revision in stance to 'accommodative' was a swift, timely move and a forward guidance to the market to stay supportive against evolving global uncertainties. "On the regulation side, the market-based securitization framework for stressed assets, review of policy on gold lending and non-fund-based facilities are timely. Widening of the co-lending framework gives wider choices to all parties concerned," Setty said. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the repurchase or repo rate by 25 basis points to 6 per cent.

RBI expected to cut repo rate by 25 bps in April, 75 bps in FY26: Ind-Ra

The RBI's monetary policy committee is expected cut benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points in its policy review meeting next month to push growth, India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) said on Thursday. "We expect the headline inflation in FY25 to cool off to 4.7 per cent. Monetary easing may be limited to 75 bps in FY26," Ind-Ra Chief Economist and Head Public Finance, Devendra Kumar Pant said. However, if the impact of US reciprocal tariff turns out to be higher than expected, there may be higher easing by RBI, Ind-Ra said in a statement. The RBI's monetary policy committee is scheduled to meet 6 times in the next fiscal 2025-26 beginning April 1. The first meeting is slated for April 7-9. "Ind-Ra expects the monetary policy committee (MPC) to opt in for a 25bps cut in policy rates in its forthcoming April 2025 meeting," the rating agency said. Higher and stubborn inflation had prompted the RBI to tighten the monetary policy, and it raised the policy rate by 250 bps between Ma

Repo rate cut to provide long-awaited relief on interest rates: Experts

The repo rate cut by 25 basis points by the monetary policy committee (MPC) of RBI announced Friday will give a long-awaited relief on interest rates and also be supportive of economic growth, according to experts. Repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks. Chief economist of Crisil Limited Dharmakirti Joshi said that as expected, the MPC of the central bank cut rates for the first time since May 2020. The repo rate has been cut by 25 basis points which now stands at 6.25 per cent. Joshi said that the recent easing in consumer price index (CPI) inflation and the need to remain supportive of economic growth has moved the RBI to act in this regard. However, the MPC maintained the policy stance at 'neutral', which gives flexibility to remain data dependent and respond to exigencies, Joshi said. The MPC moves in the future will depend more on domestic inflation, he said. "Elevated rates have impacted India's GDP growth, while the budget for the
