RBI (Reserve Bank of India) has not changed the repo rate.

Repo Rate = 5.25% (same as before)
Decision taken in the first policy meeting after Budget 2026.
Meaning:
RBI has decided not to increase or decrease interest rates for now.

 
Why did RBI keep the repo rate unchanged?
Economy is strong
India’s economy is growing well.
GDP growth is around 7.4% this year.So RBI doesn’t want to disturb growth.

Inflation is under control
Inflation for next year Q1 is expected around 4%. RBI’s target inflation is around 4%, so situation is stable.

Global uncertainty + trade deal
India’s economy is stable despite global uncertainty.
India-US trade deal reduced tariff pressure. So RBI chose a safe decision.
