The 50 bps repo rate cut and 100 bps reduction in cash reserve ratio announced on June 6 are part of the Reserve Bank's effort at propping growth that has lost some momentum due to the ongoing trade war and aided by the six-member panel's unanimous benign outlook on inflation on falling food prices and forecast for a normal monsoon season, show the minutes of June 4-6 MPC meeting released by RBI on Friday.

The 50 bps rate cut was the only time it did in recent years after the 75 bps reduction in May 2020. During Covid pandemic. During the time, CRR was slashed to 3%.

The current package is aimed at offering stability and to aid growth in near term. The MPC changed the stance to neutral from accommodative, announced in the April policy.
