This Week’s Spotlight Story

A deep dive into the headline that defined market conversations.

RBI Kept Repo Rate Unchanged At 5.25%; 2026-27 GDP Growth Projected At 6.7%

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), chaired by Reserve Bank of India Governor Shri Sanjay Malhotra, held its 62nd meeting from August 3 to 5, 2026. After assessing evolving macroeconomic and financial developments, the MPC voted unanimously to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25%. Consequently, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate remains at 5.00%, while the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate remain at 5.50%. The committee also decided to continue with its neutral stance. Growth continues to be supported by resilient domestic demand, sustained expansion in manufacturing and services activity, and robust exports, reaffirming India’s position as the world’s fastest-growing major economy.

Looking ahead, real GDP growth for 2026-27 is projected at 6.7%, while CPI inflation for the year is projected at 5.0%. Headline CPI inflation increased to 4.4% in June 2026, primarily driven by higher food and fuel prices following a sharp spike in international energy prices. Despite pressure from higher input costs, core inflation (excluding food and fuel) remained unchanged at 3.9% during May-June. The MPC noted that the global economic environment remains turbulent due to the resumption of conflict in West Asia and volatile oil prices. Domestically, uncertainties regarding the south-west monsoon and El Niño conditions continue to pose risks. The MPC emphasised the need for greater clarity regarding inflation’s path and composition before taking any policy action, underscoring its resolute commitment to align inflation with the target.

That’s a wrap for this week.
