RBI to announce October 2026 MPC outcome at 10 am today
In short
The RBI was due to announce its October 2026 policy outcome at 10 am today. The reports say the repo rate has stayed at 5.25% for four policy reviews, after a 125 basis point cut in 2025.
The August review also kept the rate at 5.25% and kept a neutral stance. The big unknown is whether today’s announcement changes rates or the RBI’s tone.
