SUMMARY
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting schedule for FY 2025-26, with six bi-monthly meetings set between April 2025 and February 2026.
RBI in its last bi-monthly policy slashed policy rate by 25 basis points to 6.25 per cent, the first cut in five years.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday announced the schedule for the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meetings for the financial year 2025-26 amid rising expectations of rate cuts.
The central bank said that the MPC will convene six times during the fiscal year to deliberate on monetary policy decisions.
Here's the schedule of RBI MPC meetings:
| Meeting | Dates |
|---|---|
| 1st | April 7, 8, and 9, 2025 |
| 2nd | June 4, 5, and 6, 2025 |
| 3rd | August 5, 6, and 7, 2025 |
| 4th | September 29, 30, and October 1, 2025 |
| 5th | December 3, 4, and 5, 2025 |
| 6th | February 4, 5, and 6, 2026 |
A recent report by SBI Research projected that the RBI could lower interest rates by a cumulative 100 basis points in 2025 as inflation moderates to multi-month lows and economic indicators signal easing price pressures.
In February, the RBI announced a 25 basis point cut in the repo rate to 6.25%, a first since the Covid-induced rate cuts in 2020. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the rate-setting panel unanimously decided to continue with a 'neutral' monetary policy stance.
