RBI holds the repo rate at 5.75% in the June 2026 review

Why it matters

The repo rate is the single most-tested monetary-policy number. A hold signals the RBI sees inflation under control without choking growth — the balance Prelims and Banking GA both probe.

Key points

Repo rate unchanged at 5.75%; stance stays neutral. Cited trigger: retail inflation easing. Watch the GDP-growth projection revisions in the same statement.

Background

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) sets the repo rate to hit a 4% (±2%) inflation target. A neutral stance keeps the door open to a cut or a hike.
