<h1>Reserve Bank of India Holds Policy Repo Rate at 6% Amid Inflation Concerns and Slowing Growth.</h1> The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India decided to maintain the policy repo rate at 6.0%, with the reverse repo rate at 5.75% and the marginal standing facility rate at 6.25%. This decision aligns with a neutral monetary policy stance aimed at achieving medium-term CPI inflation of 4% while supporting growth. Global economic activity has strengthened, but domestic GVA growth slowed in Q1 2017-18. Retail inflation rose due to increased food and housing prices. The MPC noted geopolitical uncertainties and inflation risks, opting to keep the policy rate unchanged, with a focus on structural reforms and investment to boost growth.
