1. What is the current repo rate, as decided by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India?
The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has maintained the repo rate at 6.5% for the 10th consecutive time. This decision reflects the MPC's balanced approach to managing inflation and supporting economic growth. The repo rate remains a crucial tool for regulating money supply and influencing interest rates in the economy. By keeping the rate unchanged, the RBI aims to sustain India's growth momentum, projected at 7.2% for FY25, while maintaining inflation within the target range of 4%.
