The Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) unanimously keeps the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25%. In announcing the decision, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra says the MPC adopts a neutral stance. The MPC’s vote is presented as maintaining the status quo on the policy interest rate. NDTV also reports that market expectations align with the outcome: in a Bloomberg poll, 29 of 30 economists surveyed expect the RBI to leave the repurchase rate at 5.25% during the committee meeting, indicating the decision is broadly anticipated. While the sources focus on the rate decision and the stance, both accounts converge on the same core outcome—no change to the repo rate and a neutral policy posture. The combined reporting therefore reflects both the MPC’s official decision and the prevailing expectations from economists ahead of the announcement.
