“Given the uncertainty prevailing in the global economy — from geopolitical risks to tightening global liquidity — it was imperative to ensure that India’s growth story remained resilient and future-ready. The RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points and shift its stance to ‘accommodative’ is a clear signal of that intent.
For consumers and businesses alike, the move should translate into lower borrowing costs and a potential drop in EMIs on home loans, personal loans, and other borrowings — putting more disposable income in the hands of consumers and unlocking fresh demand in the economy.
At the same time, with inflation projections well within the comfort zone and GDP growth expected to hold steady at 6.5% for FY26, this policy strikes a fine balance between supporting growth and maintaining price stability. It sends out the right signals — of confidence, continuity, and calibrated support — to market players, investors, and consumers alike, at a time when global uncertainties remain elevated.”
