RBI on Repo Rate Cut: रिजर्व बैंक ऑफ इंडिया ने आज (7 फरवरी 2025) को रेपो रेट में 6.25 प्रतिशत की कटौती कर दी। केंद्रीय बैंक ने करीब 5 सालों में पहली बार यह कटौती की है। 25 बेसिस पॉइन्ट्स (bps) की कटौती के साथ आरबीआई का इरादा अर्थव्यवस्था में लिक्विडिटी को बेहतर करने का है। रेपो रेट में हुई इस कटौती से बैंक लोन ब्यार दरों में कटौती कर सकते हैं और इसके साथ ही फिक्स्ड डिपॉजिट रेट्स (FD Rates) भी कम होने की उम्मीद है।
RBI MPC Meeting 2025: RBI cuts repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25%, a first in 5 years; estimates FY26 GDP growth at 6.7%
RBI MPC Meeting February 2025: The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) six-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) Friday cut the repo rate — the rate at which the RBI lends to other banks — by 25 basis points to 6.25 per cent. This is the first rate cut initiated by the RBI in five years, the last one being in May 2020.
The repo rate, till now, stood at 6.5 per cent. The move comes barely a week after the Centre cut personal income tax to boost consumption.
The RBI’s MPC, in a unanimous decision, lowered the repo rate in a bid to stimulate economic activity by making borrowing cheaper, thereby encouraging spending and investment. The MPC, however, decided to continue with its “neutral” stance for the economy, which RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra explained would provide flexibility to respond to the evolving macroeconomic environment.
