RBI trims repo rate to 5.25% as growth spikes, inflation eases
The RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee cut the policy repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25% amid a 7.3% annual GDP growth read and inflation moving lower. The neutral stance signals readiness to support growth while keeping price pressure in check, likely easing loan rates and boosting credit flow. The move also includes a $5 billion dollar‑rupee swap to bolster liquidity.
