RBI MPC meeting LIVE updates: Markets await MPC verdict amid inflation and crude oil concerns

RBI MPC meet June 2026 LIVE updates: Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision on Friday (June 5), with markets widely expecting the central bank to keep the benchmark repo rate unchanged at 5.25%.

The decision follows a three-day MPC meeting that began on Wednesday (June 3), as policymakers weighed global uncertainties, particularly the ongoing West Asia conflict, against domestic growth and inflation dynamics.

Market expectations suggest that while the RBI is likely to hold rates steady in this meeting, the policy stance could shift towards tightening later in FY27 if inflationary pressures persist or intensify.

Inflation remains a key concern for the central bank, which has a mandated target of 4% with a tolerance band of plus or minus 2%. Policymakers are closely tracking global commodity prices, especially crude oil, along with food inflation risks that could be exacerbated by geopolitical tensions.
