“The Monetary Policy Committee’s decision to reduce the repo rate by 25 basis points is a significant step in aligning the monetary policy with the fiscal policy underlying the Union Budget. The two in tandem will give a fillip to the macroeconomic growth. The MPC’s commitment to a flexible inflation-targeting framework ensures that the economy remains resilient, while the outlook on inflation and growth is positive.”

“We welcome RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points. Led by RBI’s new Governor Mr. Sanjay Malhotra, this rate cut is a timely and strategic move that will provide much-needed momentum to India’s investment cycle. By lowering borrowing costs, this decision will not only support business expansion but also create an environment conducive to long-term capital deployment across key sectors. For investors and businesses alike, a neutral monetary stance, stable inflation, and a projected 6.7% GDP growth signal confidence in India’s economic trajectory.”
