The Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee has commenced its three-day policy meeting, with market consensus firmly expecting the central bank to maintain the benchmark repo rate at its current level.

The six-member panel is set to announce its decision later in the week, following deliberations that will weigh domestic growth resilience against lingering global uncertainties.

Traders have largely priced in a status quo outcome, reflecting a cautious stance by policymakers who are monitoring inflation risks closely.

The decision is expected to keep borrowing costs unchanged, providing stability for businesses and consumers amid a complex macroeconomic backdrop.

Market participants are watching for any shifts in the committee’s forward guidance or tone, which could signal future policy directions.

The meeting comes at a time when global economic conditions remain volatile, with inflationary pressures still a concern in many major economies.
