RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Rohit Arora, CEO & Co-Founder, Biz2X & Biz2Credit
“Today’s 25-basis-point repo cut to 5.25% , together with a clear commitment to durable liquidity via ₹1 lakh crore of OMO purchases and, a three-year billion USD/INR swap is a welcome, timely move to shore up growth while inflation remains subdued. With headline and core inflation tracking lower than earlier projections and high growth witnessed in the first half, the monetary backdrop now meaningfully eases the cost of funds for banks.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Bharat Dhawan, Managing Partner, Forvis Mazars in India
“The 25 bps reduction in the repo rate to 5.25%, together with Governor Sanjay Malhotra’s declaration that the RBI will conduct Open Market Operations (OMO) of ₹1 lakh crore, signals a decisive effort to ease the liquidity tightness that has been constraining credit markets in recent months. “
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart
The Reserve Bank of India’s policy announcement today is a decisive, growth-oriented move that capitalizes on a "Goldilocks" economic scenario high growth paired with benign inflation.This dovish pivot is supported by strong fundamentals: the RBI raised its FY26 GDP growth forecast to 7.3% and aggressively slashed its inflation projection to just 2.0%. To address recent liquidity tightness and currency volatility, the central bank also announced substantial support measures, including ₹1 lakh crore in Open Market Operations (OMO) and a billion forex swap.
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Aman Shah - Head Research, Equirus Family Office
“The decision comes amid historically low inflation, with CPI at 0.25% in October 2025, driven by subdued food prices.The central bank also maintained its neutral stance, keeping the door open for further easing based on evolving inflation, growth, and global conditions. The RBI also announced liquidity measures including ₹1 trillion of OMO purchases and a billion FX swap signal the central bank’s intent to smoothen liquidity and strengthen credit transmission so borrowers fully benefit from lower rates.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Vinayak Magotra, Product Head & Founding Team, Centricity WealthTech.
"RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate by 25 bps to 5.25% was not in line with our expectations. That said, the rare “Goldilocks” conditions of the first half of the year, with average inflation at just 2.2% and GDP growth at 8%, appear to have provided the RBI with the confidence and room to ease policy further. In addition to the rate cut, the RBI announced measures to ensure sufficient liquidity in the banking system and stabilise the rupee."
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Mayur Modi, Co-founder & Co-CEO, MONEYBOXX FINANCE LIMITED
“The latest repo rate cut of 25 basis points reflects the RBI MPC’s proactive effort to ease systemic funding pressures and promote affordable credit, especially for micro and small enterprises. The accommodative stance, along with strengthened co-lending and securitisation frameworks, will significantly boost liquidity and support responsible credit growth across priority segments. For the NBFC sector, this policy direction enhances operational stability and cost efficiency. For Moneyboxx, it provides a strong foundation to scale our livelihood-driven financing model and continue empowering grassroots entrepreneurs at the last mile.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By N. ArunaGiri, CEO, TrustLine.
“Taken together, this is an unequivocally growth-supportive policy - anchored not only by rate cuts but also by liquidity infusion through OMOs and rupee–dollar swaps. However, despite the continued accommodative stance, one is not sure about further rate cuts. While the central bank has projected a benign inflation outlook for the first half of FY27.This implies that further rate cuts may be difficult to come by. In essence, the RBI has done its due part. It is for the economy / markets now to lap it up and deliver"
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Sukesh Bhowal, MD & CEO, Motilal Oswal Home Finance Ltd
“It’s a very welcome move by the RBI and will significantly improve home purchase affordability. For affordable HFC s like us, a faster transmission of the repo rate cuts leading to reduced MCLR for banks will help us bring down our borrowing costs, thereby benefiting our lower income group customers.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Swapnil Aggarwal, Director, VSRK Capital
“The RBI’s 25 basis points rate cut reflects a cautious step towards supporting the country’s growth. While the policy easing signals that the rate-cut cycle has begun, it also serves as a reminder that the central bank moves gradually, even though markets respond instantly. The reduction to 5.25% highlights a measured approach to easing, where policy decisions are careful but their impact on sentiment is immediate.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Pranay Aggarwal, Director and CEO of Stoxkart
“The upcoming RBI MPC outcome will be closely watched by financial market participants, especially following Governor Sanjay Malhotra’s indication of conducting Open Market Operations (OMOs) amounting to ₹1 lakh crore. Such liquidity measures generally help in stabilizing short-term money market conditions and improving credit flow within the system. For equity and debt markets, the overall impact will depend on the committee’s stance on inflation, growth projections, and future policy guidance.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Edul Patel, CEO, Mudrex.
The RBI’s unanimous cut in the repo rate signals that inflationary pressures are easing, while the upward revision of FY26 GDP growth from 6.8 % to 7.3 % reflects renewed confidence in India’s macroeconomic resilience. Combined with the ₹1-lakh-crore OMO purchase and the three-year USD 5 billion infusion, these actions together set a supportive backdrop for risk assets including equities and crypto.
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Anirudh Garg, Partner and Fund Manager, INVasset PMS.
“The trio of measures announced – the 25 basis-point rate cut, the billion USD/INR swap line, and the ₹1 lakh crore OMO bond purchase programme – is likely to provide a meaningful jolt to market sentiment. From an industry standpoint, the coordinated move sends a clear signal that liquidity backstops are being reinforced across interest-rate, currency and bond-market channels, which should ease funding pressures and encourage capital flow into risk assets.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Sumit Gupta, Co-founder of CoinDCX.
“The RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25% reflects a thoughtful and well-timed approach to supporting India’s strong growth trajectory while maintaining confidence around inflation. In a shifting interest-rate environment, traditional financial instruments may offer moderate returns, encouraging both retail and institutional investors to consider a more diversified approach to wealth building, where digital assets are steadily emerging as an important option.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Manan Joshi, Co-Founder, Sarvam Properties
“With the Reserve Bank of India cutting the repo rate to 5.25 per cent, borrowing becomes cheaper and that’s excellent news for home-buyers — lower interest costs will boost affordability just when the economy is enjoying robust growth and tame inflation. As more buyers and builders engage, this could spur demand across urban and middle-income housing segments, giving a welcome lift to the real estate market”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Bhavesh Kothari, Founder & CEO, Property First
"The RBI's move to cut the repo rate to 5.25% is a positive signal for the market at a time when easing retail inflation has provided enough monetary elbow room to the central bank. This should spur demand in the real estate sector and galvanise household savings by way of a lower EMI outgo. The rate cut seen together with a higher GDP growth outlook bodes well for the industry, which will rise to the occasion."
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Amit Goyal, Managing Director, India Sotheby’s International Realty
The RBI’s 25-basis-point repo cut comes at the right time. Real estate is capital intensive, and after years of elevated construction costs, lower rates offer meaningful relief. Cheaper credit boosts confidence—from homebuyers to institutional investors and should drive demand, transactions, and price stability.With India posting 8.2 percent growth in Q2, the rate cut is a strong sail forward, reinforcing liquidity and sentiment in an already resilient economy.
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Vimal Nadar, National Director & Head, Research at Colliers India
After a brief pause, RBI has reduced the repo rate further by 25 basis points to 5.25%, the lowest in over three years. For the real estate sector, especially the residential segment, this rate cut builds on the momentum created during the recent festive season and GST rationalization of key construction materials. Lower borrowing costs will further improve affordability and buyer sentiment, particularly in affordable & mid-income housing segments. “
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Piyush Bothra, Co-Founder & CFO, Square Yards
“This cut offers a meaningful boost to the real estate sector, reinforcing affordability at a time when buyer activity is already strengthening. With inflation well-managed, growth projections improving, and reforms sustaining consumption, the rate reduction builds positively on the earlier easing undertaken this year. Lower home loan rates, especially during the festive season, are expected to accelerate demand across mid-income and first-time buyer segments”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Shrinivas Rao, FRICS, CEO, Vestian
“A 25 bps rate cut signals a clear intent of monetary policy to support growth while inflation stays restrained. With borrowing costs declining, we expect project construction to accelerate and consumer demand to pick up significantly. For commercial real estate, lower funding costs and improved leasing activity are likely to fast-track occupier expansion and support new developments. This also brings better clarity for long-term investments and encourages broader credit expansion. Capital-intensive sectors and housing will particularly benefit from improved affordability. Such a calibrated step strengthens economic stability and supports the ongoing growth momentum.”
Post Monetary Policy Press Conference Live: Impact of Tariffs on India
Governor Sanjay Malhotra said India has faced only limited impact from recent tariff actions, though a few sectors have felt some pressure. He added that both the Government of India and the RBI have introduced relief measures to support affected industries. Exporters, he noted, have already begun diversifying their markets, and the economy will come out from this phase stronger.
Post Monetary Policy Press Conference Live: : Governor On “Why is inflation so low and is it the right level of inflation for an economy like India ?
The Governor said “Certainly not, 0.2% is definitely not the right level of Inflation for India. However there are going to be fluctuations on both supply and demand factors and both of them are on play so it will depend on sector to sector. “
Post Monetary Policy Press Conference Live: Governor On “why do you expect the Growth to soften somewhat”
Governor said “We feel that growth which has been 8% in H1 will not be the same going forward. We have already given out expected number for this quarters.
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Siddharth Maurya, Founder & Managing Director, Vibhavangal Anukulakara Pvt. Ltd.
“The cut in the repo rate by the RBI once more signifies the end of very appealing fixed deposit returns for FD investors, at least for a while. Senior citizens can also opt for a combination of bank FDs, a few corporate FDs, and small savings schemes to get a blend of safety and slightly higher yields rather than sticking to a single product.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Shashank Gupta, Director, RPS Group
“The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cut the repo rate again, which means that in the long term, fixed deposit (FD) investors will have to accept that their once attractive returns are going to be lower. Instead of panic, this is the right time to think in a strategic way. One of the best means is FD laddering: dividing the investments into different tenures so that not all the deposits will be locked at the current lower rates, and there will always be some maturities ready to take the rates if the cycle changes.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Pramod Kumar Gupta, Director, Kadamashree Developers India LLP
“The repo rate of 5.25% which came after the series of cuts in 2025, significantly boosted the relative appeal of real estate as an investment class compared to fixed-income products. Investors are likely to see Grade A residential, commercial strata units and listed REITs as the new places for superior risk-adjusted returns and regular cash flows as safer instruments yields go lower. The increased FY26 GDP growth expectancy points to a long-lasting demand situation for the likes of office, retail and logistics that will in turn support rental growth and reduced vacancy rates midterm. The policy change is like rolling out the carpet for homebuyers and investors who think long-term as it indicates the start of a friendly interest rate cycle where getting in on quality assets during the rise could provide both capital appreciation and income stability for the next 3–5 years.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Anurag Goel, Director, Goel Ganga Developments
“The recent reduction of the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25% is expected to have a significant impact on home loan rates in the coming months, assuming banks and HFCs quickly pass the benefit on to the borrowers. Upward revision of GDP growth forecasts for FY26 leads to a better income view and increased job confidence, which is exactly what makes those who are undecided finally turn their inquiries into bookings. The combination of lower EMIs and a more optimistic growth outlook creates a perfect timing for the end-users in the affordable and mid-income segments, particularly in Tier II and III cities where EMI sensitivity is high..”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Shiv Garg, Director, Forteasia Realty Pvt. Ltd..
“The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decreased the policy rate to 5.25% and made a bold statement by adopting the theme of growth support. The developers will be able to get working capital more easily, which will, in turn, make it possible for them to get their projects financed and thus, speed up the construction of townships, plotted, and large integrated projects that are heavy on capital expenditure. Lowering the monthly home loan EMI by Rs 1,850 for a 20-year Rs 35 lakh loan will make housing more affordable.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Sarbvir Singh, Joint Group CEO, PB Fintech
“Today’s 25-basis-point rate cut by the RBI MPC comes at a very opportune time. With GDP growth printing strong in recent quarters and inflation easing to multi-year lows, the macro environment offers policymakers rare room to support growth without stoking price pressures. For the credit ecosystem, this policy action provides timely support. Lower rates improve affordability, widen access to formal credit, and strengthen repayment capacity for households and small businesses. We expect today’s cut to lift credit demand in a healthy, sustainable manner and help reinforce the positive growth trajectory already visible across sectors.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Sujan Hajra, Chief Economist & Executive Director, Anand Rathi Group
“We had anticipated a 25 bps repo rate cut in the December 2025 Monetary Policy, even as the Reserve Bank of India was widely expected to revise FY26 GDP growth higher and retail inflation forecasts lower. Alongside the rate cut, the RBI announced open market purchases of government bonds and swap transactions, signalling a clear easing bias. This has opened space for policy accommodation without compromising macro stability. A softer monetary stance and liquidity infusion could exert pressure on the rupee. However, the planned ₹1.5 trillion of bond purchases including ₹0.5 trillion through swaps enhances the RBI’s ability to intervene in currency markets through dollar sales without tightening domestic liquidity conditions.”
RBI MPC Decision Reaction By Anuj Puri, Chairman, ANAROCK Group
“The RBI’s decision to cut the repo rate by 25 bps is a distinct positive for the Indian real estate sector as we close 2025. With average housing prices across the top 7 cities having risen by notable double-digits (approx. 10%) in 2025 as per ANAROCK Research, this rate cut provides a critical cushion to affordability, potentially bringing home loan interest rates to more attractive levels. This can encourage aspiring homebuyers who had paused their decisions due to price hikes to finally take the plunge.”

Governor Sanjay Malhotra announced that the RBI will launch a two-month campaign starting January 1 next year to clear all grievances that have been pending with the RBI Ombudsman for over a month.
RBI MPC Meeting Live: India’s CPI inflation outlook reduced to 2%

Considering all these factors, CPI inflation for this year is now projected at 2%, about 0.6% downwards from our earlier outlook. Q3 is at 0.6% and Q4 moves up to 2.9%. CPI inflation for Q1 and Q2 next year are projected at 3.9% and 4% respectively.”
RBI MPC December Meet Live: India’s Trade Deficit Has widened

RBI MPC December Meet Live: Growth is maintaining a steady pace
Governor Sanjay Malhotra said “India’s economic activity in the first half of the financial year has gained from income-tax and GST rationalisation, softer crude prices, and the government’s front-loaded capital expenditure. This momentum, he noted, has been further supported by easing inflation. High-frequency indicators suggest that domestic economic activity remains resilient in Q3. GST collections, festive-season spending and steady rural demand continue to hold up well, while urban consumption is showing a gradual but clear recovery.”

RBI MPC December Meet Expectation by Raghunandan Saraf, Founder & CEO, Saraf Furniture
“E-commerce ventures flourish in stable economic conditions. The constant repo rate indicates that the government is not going to change its monetary policy soon, thus allowing the companies to make plans for the new locations and technology investments; on the other side, the consumers' confident spending is the beginning of a favorable cycle for the sector in 2025.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation by Ridhima Kansal, Director, Rosemoore
“The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has kept its monetary policy easy, which allows the e-commerce platforms to get less expensive working capital, a must-have for stock control and greater operations. Moreover, the stable interest rates will also supports the consumer confidence, which is a major factor for the online sales growth to be sustained.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation By Lokendra Ranawat ,Co-Founder and CEO ,Wooden Street
“Keeping the repo rate at 5.50% will likely provide a boost to consumer spending, which in turn will be very advantageous for e-commerce firms since they will enjoy stable credit costs and steady demand. The combination of stable monetary policy and strong growth signals should be conducive to the development of digital retail and the corresponding investment in logistics.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation by Kishor Fogla, Founder, Yellow Slice
“Stable repo rates create a favorable atmosphere for investments in UI/UX companies, giving them the ability to make sure their budgets include hiring and upgrading technology. A constant policy also reinforces the trust of clients, thus triggering the need for better digital experience solutions.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation By Shashi Bhushan, Chairman of Board, Stellar Innovations
“By the RBI keeping the repo rate unchanged, the tech industry would be able to take advantage of the situation by borrowing at a lower rate and the consumer spending being stable. The tech sectors would thus easily secured the need for further innovations, the application of digital technologies in every aspect and the building of support facilities that are all key for keeping the company's edge in the market.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation By Mr Jeevan Kasara, Chairman Steris Healthcare
“The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) consistent monetary policy with the repo rate at 5.50% brings the much-required financial stability to the pharmaceutical sector. Low-cost lending makes it possible for the industry to invest in research and development, supply chain management, and production with the result that pharmaceuticals can cater to the rising healthcare needs.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation By Siddharth Maurya, Founder & Managing Director, Vibhavangal Anukulakara Pvt. Ltd.
“Developers welcome the RBI’s steady repo stance as it lowers project financing costs and facilitates smoother fund flow. Cheaper home loans and sustained growth indicators together will likely spur housing demand, aiding recovery in unsold inventory and boosting new construction momentum.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation by Pramod Kumar Gupta, Director, Kadamashree Developers India LLP
“The RBI's choice of not raising the repo rate in a market that is highly dependent on interest rates to be sure both the buyers and the developers. Real estate transactions are mostly supported by an increase in liquidity and reduction in loan costs, especially in the mid-income and affordable housing sectors that are likely to recover soon, thus, indicating that the market is getting better.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation by Anurag Goel, Director, Goel Ganga Developments
“The maintenance of the repo rate has granted real estate developers the opportunity to operate project timelines with lesser uncertainties. The narrowing of the cost on loans granted by the banks means that it is easier to obtain mortgages, thereby gradually raising the confidence of buyers especially in the mid-income and affordable segments. This condition is conducive to investments and the sales of inventories, which are the things to be done for the sector’s revival in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.”
RBI MPC December Meet Expectation By Shiv Garg, Director, Forteasia Realty Pvt. Ltd.
“The Reserve Bank of India's decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.50% is signaling a very strong stability to the real estate market. The consistency in monetary policy truly supports housing loans at low rates, thus encouraging the entry of first-time buyers and middle-income families into property ownership. Developers are also aided by financing that is less strict, thus speeding up the sector's growth through project completions and new launches. The rate stability is perceived positively and the growth could be sustained through 2025.”

Inflation has softened significantly, liquidity conditions have stabilised, and economic activity remains robust—creating an opportunity for the MPC to shift toward a more growth-supportive stance. A reduction in the repo rate at this stage could help ease financing costs, stimulate consumption, and strengthen investment sentiment across key sectors, particularly as the economy enters a high-demand cycle.” said Mayur Modi, Co-founder, and Co-CEO of Moneyboxx Finance
