The MPC under the central bank projected the Indian economy to clock a growth rate of 6.7 per cent in the upcoming 2025-26 fiscal year (FY26).

In a pivotal move to bolster India's economic growth, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has slashed the repo rate for the first time in nearly five years, with Governor Sanjay Malhotra cautioning against global financial turbulence.

The MPC under the new RBI governor will have to walk a tightrope between taming inflation and boosting economic growth. India’s GDP growth in Q2 FY25 slipped to a seven-quarter low of 5.4%. The monetary policy committee forecasts India’s gross domestic product (GDP) to grow at 6.7% in the financial year 2025-26.
