On 8 April 2026, the RBI MPC concluded its first bi-monthly policy meeting of FY2027, held from 6 to 8 April. With the RBI Governor, Sanjay Malhotra, announcing the policy at 10 AM today. As anticipated by the markets, the RBI has kept the Repo rate unchanged at 5.25% and maintained policy stance at \u2018Neutral\u2019. This was the second consecutive time the RBI MPC has decided not to change the Repo rate. This came after the RBI had already cut the repo rate by a cumulative 125 basis points since February 2025. <\/p>

The MPC Meeting has also analysed the damage from the conflict in West Asia to energy and other infrastructure, which adds risk to the rise of inflation and the growth outlook. In these geopolitical tensions, the Indian economy has shown better resilience to the global shocks than in the past. The MPC Meeting decided to wait and watch the changing circumstances and economic outlook before making any further changes in the Repo rate, hence voted to keep the rate of policy unchanged. <\/p>
