RBI keeps repo rate unchanged at 5.5%, revises India’s GDP growth forecast to 6.8% for FY26
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintained the repo rate at 5.5% following its 57th Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting from September 29 to October 1, 2025, sustaining a neutral stance to support economic momentum. The FY26 GDP growth forecast was raised to 6.8% from 6.5%, underpinned by robust domestic demand and higher investments. CPI inflation was revised down to 2.6% due to lower food prices and GST rationalization. Stable exports, FDI inflows, and a narrower current account deficit reinforce India’s macroeconomic resilience and balanced growth trajectory.
