This Week’s Spotlight Story

A deep dive into the headline that defined market conversations.

RBI Keeps Repo Rate Unchanged at 5.25%; Projects 6.9% GDP Growth for 2026-27

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), chaired by RBI Governor Shri Sanjay Malhotra, voted unanimously to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25% during its 60th meeting. Consequently, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate remains at 5.00%, and the marginal standing facility (MSF) and Bank Rate remain at 5.50%. The MPC also decided to continue with its neutral stance. Real GDP growth for 2026-27 is projected at 6.9%, despite headwinds from the ongoing West Asia conflict, volatile global energy prices, and supply chain disruptions. Domestic demand remains supported by sustained momentum in the services sector, rising capacity utilisation in manufacturing, and healthy balance sheets of financial institutions and corporates.

On the inflation front, CPI inflation for 2026-27 is projected at 4.6%. Under the new CPI series (2024=100), headline inflation increased to 3.2% in February 2026, though core inflation remained muted. The MPC noted that while the Indian economy’s strong fundamentals provide resilience, upside risks to inflation persist due to global energy price pressures and possible El Niño conditions. Confronted with a supply shock, the committee opted for a prudent approach to monitor the evolving growth-inflation outlook amid heightened geopolitical uncertainties.
