Governor Das today said the MPC voted unanimously to keep the policy rates unchanged. The “accommodative” policy stance remains unchanged, he added.
This means the repo rate is maintained at 4 percent and reverse repo rate at 3.35 percent.
RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said “Inflation has eased below the tolerance level of 6 percent. Outlook on growth has improved significantly. MPC has judged that need for the hour is to continue supporting growth. Signs of recovery have strengthened further and list of normalising sectors is expanding.”
