The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has taken another decisive step toward monetary easing, cutting the benchmark repo rate by a larger-than-expected 50 basis points on Friday. This marks the central bank’s third consecutive rate cut in 2025, bringing the total reduction to 100 basis points since February. With inflation retreating below the RBI's target range, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has shifted its focus to boosting domestic growth amid global uncertainties and ongoing pressure on the Indian rupee (INR).
