The RBI kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged on Friday. The repo rate was kept unchanged at 5.25% as inflation remained at manageable levels, and growth concerns eased following trade agreements with the US and the European Union.
The RBI's six-member MPC voted unanimously to keep the repurchase rate at 5.25%. The RBI MPC had maintained a neutral policy stance, an indication that the rates will remain low for some time.
"On growth, the RBI's tone is quietly confident. FY26 GDP growth is estimated at a strong 7.4%, driven largely by domestic engines: private consumption, fixed investment, and resilient services activity. High capacity utilisation, healthy balance sheets, robust credit growth, and continued public capex form a sturdy foundation," stated InCred Money Team expert.
"The external picture remains mixed. Net exports continue to be a drag, even as recent trade agreements, notably with the EU, the US, New Zealand and Oman, offer medium-term diversification benefits. The RBI remains alert to geopolitical tensions and commodity price swings, which keep downside risks alive," the expert added.
RBI's decision to keep the repo rate unchanged is expected to prevent banks from cutting FD rates in the near term. Here are the latest bank FD rates.
