Trulli

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has reduced its key interest rate, the repo rate, by 25 basis points (0.25%), bringing it down to 6%. This decision was made during the 54th Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting held from April 7 to 9, 2025, led by RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra.

Following this change:

Trulli
  • The Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) rate is now 5.75%.
  • The Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate are both 6.25%.

Why the Cut?

The RBI aims to bring inflation closer to its target of 4% while still supporting economic growth. The committee also changed its policy stance from neutral to accommodative, meaning it’s now more open to taking steps to boost the economy.

However, the RBI warned that global uncertainties and volatility remain high, and it will closely monitor how things develop.

Growth and Inflation Outlook:

    • Q1: 6.5%
    • Q2: 6.7%
    • Q3: 6.6%
    • Q4: 6.3%
  • Inflation is expected to ease:

      • Q2: 3.9%
      • Q3: 3.8%
      • Q4: 4.4%

The RBI noted a sharp drop in food inflation, giving it more confidence that overall inflation will stay within its target range.

The minutes of the MPC meeting will be released on April 23, 2025, and the next meeting is scheduled for June 4 to 6, 2025.
