India’s c. bank holds repo rate to curb inflation
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has kept its policy repo rate unchanged at 5.50 per cent, following the 56th meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) held from August 4 to 6, 2025, as per its announcement on Wednesday.
As a result, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate under the liquidity adjustment facility remains at 5.25 per cent, while the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate also remain unchanged at 5.75 per cent.
The RBI said the decision aligns with its objective of achieving a medium-term consumer price index (CPI) inflation target of 4 per cent, within a tolerance band of ±2 per cent, while continuing to support economic growth.
