The Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is in the spotlight this week as it kicks off its 3-day meeting, with strong market anticipation of a possible 3rd straight 25 basis points (bps) cut in the benchmark repo rate.
This bi-monthly policy review comes against the backdrop of persistently subdued inflation, well below the RBI’s 4% target, and mounting global economic headwinds, particularly due to trade tensions driven by recent U.S. tariff actions, according to a PTI report.
India's economic growth has been under pressure, with GDP for FY 2024–25 projected to slow to a 4-year low of 6.5%. Meanwhile, retail inflation dropped to 3.16% in April 2025—the lowest year-on-year rate since July 2019—providing room for a more accommodative stance by the central bank.
The MPC meeting began on June 4, 2025, and the outcome will be announced by RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Friday, June 6, at 10:00 AM. This will mark his 3rd policy announcement since succeeding Shaktikanta Das.
His address will be keenly analysed for cues on the RBI’s monetary stance, revised GDP forecasts, and the outlook on Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation.

A follow-up press conference is scheduled for 12:00 noon and will be available on the same platforms, offering deeper insights into the central bank’s policy direction.
