RBI's Policy Meet: Rate Cut Looms Amid Global, Domestic Pressures
The Business Guardian
|April 08, 2025
Deposit growth faces double blow.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is gearing up for its crucial Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, scheduled from Monday, April 7, to Wednesday, April 9, in Mumbai. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the outcome, including any changes in the key policy rates, on April 9 at 10 AM.
The meeting comes on the heels of a 25 basis point (bps) repo rate cut in February—the first in the current easing cycle—which brought the rate down from 6.5% to 6.25%.
A fresh rate cut is now widely anticipated, with economists and financial institutions closely watching the central bank's next move.
According to a report by the State Bank of India (SBI), another 25 bps rate cut is expected in the April 2025 policy. The report outlines a roadmap for the RBI to follow up February's reduction with another cut this month, followed by a pause in June, before potentially resuming cuts from August.
