The Reserve Bank of India kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25 percent. Additionally, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate remains steady at 5.00 percent, and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate is stable at 5.50 percent.
Since the repo rate was kept unchanged at 5.25 percent, there will be no immediate increase or relief in existing home, car, or personal loan EMIs, keeping interest rates at their current levels.
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra noted that global uncertainties, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions pose ongoing challenges. To maintain economic balance amidst fluctuating inflation and energy costs, the central bank adopted a cautious 'wait and watch' approach rather than adjusting rates.
