Will the Reserve Bank of India decrease the policy repo rate after the April Meeting?

“Given current economic conditions, inflation trends, and RBI's recent stance on maintaining rates, a rate cut seems unlikely.”

“RBI has been in an easing cycle since early 2025, cutting rates multiple times. With global growth concerns and manageable inflation, another 25bps cut in April 2026 is likely, though pace may slow depending on conditions.”

“Inflation concerns likely persist, with RBI maintaining hawkish stance to anchor expectations. Recent data suggests limited room for cuts amid global monetary tightening.”
