RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meet date, time: The MPC, under the leadership of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Sanjay Malhotra, met this week for the bi-monthly monetary policy review. The committee will assess several economic parameters, including the repo rate, liquidity conditions, CPI inflation and GDP growth outlook for India's economy.
The timing of RBI’s monetary policy assumes significance since it comes at a time when India and the US have failed to reach a trade deal. Instead, US President Donald Trump has announced a 25% tariff on India, with warnings of higher duties due to India’s oil trade with Russia.
Experts expect the central bank to maintain a status quo on repo rate. The RBI-led MPC has already reduced the repo rate by 100 basis points or 1% since the start of this year. While CPI inflation has reached benign levels, RBI may choose to hold rates to await clarity on the emerging India-US trade dynamics.
The panel comprises the RBI governor, a pair of senior central bank officials, alongside three members appointed by the government.
RBI MPC Meeting: Date, Time
The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee met from August 4, 2025. The outcomes of the two-day MPC deliberations will be announced by Governor Sanjay Malhotra on August 6, 2025 at 10:00 AM.
Analysts will closely examine the governor's statement to gain insights into the central bank's position, its projections for GDP growth, and anticipated CPI inflation trends.
The RBI's commentary is particularly significant as it takes place amidst growing worries about the India-US trade deal stalemate and threats of higher tariffs.
The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee's decision, to be delivered by Governor Sanjay Malhotra, shall be broadcast on August 6, 2025, beginning at 10:00 AM through the central bank's official Youtube platform.
