The Reserve Bank of India has kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25%. This means EMIs for home, car and personal loans will stay the same. The decision was taken by the Monetary Policy Committee in its April meeting. The RBI kept a neutral stance to balance growth and inflation. India’s GDP is expected to slow to 6.9% in 2026–27. Inflation is projected at 4.6%. However, rising fuel and LPG prices may increase household expenses. Global tensions have added pressure on energy costs. Despite this, India’s foreign reserves remain strong. Stock markets also reacted positively after the announcement. (PC: Reuters)
