RBI keeps powder dry for future cuts, show minutes

On 1 Oct, the MPC raised FY26 growth forecast to 6.8%.

However, there were differences around the stance of the monetary policy among members of the panel of six, with two external candidates—Nagesh Kumar and Ram Singh—in favour of changing it from neutral to accommodative. An accommodative stance would signal that the central bank supports growth and indicates that interest rates could go down, whereas a neutral stance allows the rate-setting panel to decide the course based on fresh data.
