RBI Holds Steady: Growth Outlook Positive, Inflation Under Control

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, decided to maintain the repo rate at 6.5%, holding its neutral stance on monetary policy. This follows a period of careful observation of macroeconomic indicators.

The central bank projected a robust economic growth rate of 6.5% for the current fiscal year. The assessment highlights a balanced risk profile for the Indian economy.

Inflation is forecast to ease further to 3.1% in FY26, a positive sign for consumers and businesses alike. The RBI expressed confidence in the sustainability of the current account deficit.

This decision reflects the RBI’s measured approach to managing the economy amidst global uncertainties. The maintained repo rate provides stability for businesses while the positive growth forecast offers hope for sustained job creation and economic progress. The upcoming festive season will be a key indicator of consumer sentiment and the success of this policy.
