Synopsis/Summary

  • The RBI kept the repo rate unchanged at 6.5% but reduced the CRR to inject liquidity.
  • They also lowered the GDP growth forecast from 7.2% to 6.6% due to weaker industrial activity, while inflation breached the 6% mark due to food price shocks.
  • Potential interest rate cuts are expected in early 2025 to support economic revival.
