Under the flexible inflation targeting (FIT) policy, the RBI is required to maintain the CPI at 4% with a +\/-2% band. As per RBI&#8217;s annual report 2024-25, &#8220;benign inflation scenario and moderate growth warrant monetary policy to be growth oriented, but keep watch on the rapidly evolving global macroeconomic situation with caution.&#8221;.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_of_Repo_Rate_Future_Prospects\"><\/span><strong>Impact of Repo Rate &amp; Future Prospects<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>A fall in the repo rate by 25 BPS would help borrowers because all the external benchmark lending rates (EBLR) based on it would decrease to the same extent.
