As nations across the world realign economic strategies amid global uncertainties, the RBI’s rate cut and accommodative stance come as no surprise. With US tariffs heightening fears of trade wars, the global economy is undoubtedly under pressure.
While India’s strong economic fundamentals and resilient domestic demand provide a buffer, the need of the hour is to maintain a stable investment climate and preserve economic agility. The RBI’s policy direction and measured approach should deliver in these uncertain times.

“The RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate is a timely and prudent measure in the face of an uncertain economic environment shaped by global trade tensions. Reduced cost of capital will boost investor confidence and offer businesses a more stable financial landscape.
With inflation projected to remain within a manageable range of 4%, and GDP growth forecasted at 6.5% for FY26, this policy is likely to sustain capital mobilisation and long-term investment planning.”

“We welcome the RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate and adopt an accommodative stance. As global uncertainties rise, a supportive domestic environment becomes critical. Lower borrowing costs will enable us to maintain momentum in capital deployment as we continue investing in cleaner, more efficient solutions across the energy value chain.
The strong outlook for rural demand, infrastructure investment, and services exports further reinforces the resilience of India’s energy demand.”
