RBI MPC April Meet 2026: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra is set to announce the latest repo rate decision today, April 8, following the three-day Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting held from April 6 to April 8, 2026.
The policy decision comes at a crucial juncture, with inflationary pressures building up and the ongoing Iran–US conflict posing risks to India’s economic growth due to potential supply chain disruptions and rising energy costs.
The central bank has already reduced the repo rate by 125 basis points to 5.25% since February 2025.
Most analysts expect the RBI to maintain status quo in this policy as well, while closely monitoring inflation trends and global developments before taking any further action. The
central bank’s commentary on inflation outlook, liquidity conditions, and growth projections will be equally important for market direction.
