Mumbai, 04 February (H.S.): The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), chaired by Governor Sanjay Malhotra, commenced its three-day review meeting on Wednesday,—post-Union Budget and amid India-US trade pact developments—with consensus forecasts signaling repo rate stability.

Running through February 6, the deliberations scrutinize macroeconomic vectors including inflation rebounding from troughs, prompting caution after RBI's 125 basis points cumulative cuts since February 2025 slashed the policy rate to 5.25%; Malhotra announces outcomes Friday.

Analysts anticipate status quo to anchor inflation expectations, balancing growth impulses against renewed price pressures in a milieu of global trade flux and domestic fiscal recalibrations.
