“The RBI’s 25 basis point cut in the repo rate to 6.25%, after five years marks a pivotal move to boost liquidity in the financial system. With the Standing Deposit Facility now at 6% from 6.25% and the Marginal Standing Facility and Bank rates at 6.50%, this decision is expected to ease borrowing costs and fuel credit demand. It offers a timely boost for sectors such as housing, MSMEs, and consumer finance, positively impacting individuals and businesses in their growth journeys.”
