RBI holds repo rate at 5.25% amid global uncertainties

The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee has maintained the benchmark repo rate at 5.25 percent, holding policy steady amid global headwinds and inflationary concerns. Policymakers are closely monitoring geopolitical uncertainties while assessing domestic inflationary pressures.

Domestic economic growth remains robust, supporting the committee's decision to pause further policy action. The MPC also revised its growth and inflation projections for the current financial year in light of evolving economic conditions. Market analysts had largely anticipated this pause in monetary tightening.
