RBI MPC Meeting 2025 Live Updates: Edul Patel, co-founder and CEO of Mudrex, said the recent repo rate cut by RBI has brought much-needed relief for home loan buyers, as banks will likely pass on benefits to individuals at reduced interest rates.

"On the flip side, fixed deposit investors may see lower returns. In this shifting rate environment, prudent fund allocation becomes crucial. Investors should also focus on diversifying their portfolios to manage the dual challenges of falling interest rates and persistent inflation," he said.

RBI MPC Meeting 2025 Live Updates: Parijat Agrawal, Head of Fixed Income at Union Asset Management Company Pvt Ltd, said, "The Monetary Policy Committee’s (MPC) meeting actions were forward-looking and took the markets by surprise. The MPC reduced the repo rate by 50 basis points, changing the stance from accommodative to neutral, and the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) rate was decreased by 100 basis points. The downward revision of the inflation forecast is expected to provide reassurance. We expect growth to be supported with the ongoing rate transmission. Any additional rate cuts from here on appear unlikely in the near term and would be data dependent."

"The RBI has surprised the market by front-loading a 50-basis point repo rate cut, resulting in a cumulative reduction of 100 basis points since February 2025. Despite this accelerated easing, our broader outlook remains unchanged—if this is indeed the final rate cut, we do not foresee further reductions in the upcoming policy cycles. We will continue to closely monitor global growth trends and domestic inflation risks. The more significant surprise in today’s announcement was the 100-basis point cut in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), aimed at expediting monetary transmission and enhancing liquidity in the system," said Laukik Bagwe, Fund Manager & Head – Fixed Income, ITI Mutual Fund.

He added, "With monetary policy now having limited room to further support growth through aggressive rate cuts and liquidity measures, the MPC has shifted its stance from ‘accommodative’ to ‘neutral’. Going forward, the MPC will adopt a data-dependent approach, carefully assessing incoming information and the evolving macroeconomic landscape to strike an appropriate balance between growth and inflation. The rapidly changing global economic environment further underscores the need for continuous monitoring and assessment."

In a press conference, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said that the central bank "wanted to provide certainty to markets, so we frontloaded repo rate cut by 50 bps, CRR by 100 bps."

RBI MPC Meeting 2025 Live Updates: Churchil Bhatt, Executive Vice President - Investment, Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company Ltd, on RBI's repo rate cut said, "Reserve Bank of India delivered a surprise 50 bps rate cut today, taking the Policy Repo Rate to 5.5% from 6.0%. The surprise was partly offset by the change in policy stance from ‘accommodative’ to ‘neutral’, signalling a more data-dependent approach ahead, as opposed to continued assurance of further policy easing."

"Additionally, the Central Bank reduced the CRR by a cumulative 100 bps in four equal tranches, adding almost INR 2.5 Lakh Crore to banking system liquidity. A larger than expected move on the Repo Rate, offset by the hardening of the policy stance, may be seen as a front-loading of future policy action. CRR, on the other hand, is a surprise for the market. RBI has also moved its full-year inflation forecast lower to 3.7% from 4.0% while affirming its confidence in a robust growth trajectory. Overall, we expect moderate steepening of the Government Bond yield curve, with shorter-end yields and spread assets benefitting from the surprise liquidity bonanza. These policy actions will also accelerate monetary transmission, resulting in lower bank lending rates. Going forward, we expect to see a data-dependent approach RBI, with most of the heavy lifting behind us," he added.
