As per a recent Reuters poll, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to maintain its repo rate at 5.50% during the upcoming August 2025 policy review.
However, experts say that the RBI may consider cutting rates later this year if inflation remains under control and the economic situation demands more support.
In simple terms, this means:
-
The RBI doesn’t want to change the current interest rate right now.
-
But if prices stay stable, it might reduce the rate later to help boost the economy.
