RBI MPC meeting LIVE updates: Repo rate decision, inflation, growth in focus

RBI MPC meeting LIVE updates: The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI;s) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is announcing its first policy decision of FY27 on Wednesday, April 8. The six-member panel, chaired by Governor Sanjay Malhotra, met over the past few days to review key issues such as interest rates, inflation trends, and the economic growth outlook.

This review comes amid rising geopolitical tensions in the West Asia and a weakening rupee, factors that could influence the central bank’s stance.

In its last meeting in February 2026, the MPC had kept the repo rate steady at 5.25% after a cumulative 125-basis-point cut in 2025, adopting a cautious ‘wait-and-watch’ approach focused on stability.

All eyes are now on today’s announcement to see whether the RBI will continue its steady course or signal a shift in monetary policy.
