“The RBI’s decision to maintain the policy rate while continuing with a neutral stance reflects a balanced approach amid evolving global and domestic conditions. With inflation remaining benign, the policy framework provides stability and adequate headroom to support growth while preserving macroeconomic discipline.
The central bank’s confidence in India’s growth outlook underlines the resilience of domestic demand and the effectiveness of recent policy measures. We also welcome the RBI’s continued emphasis on strengthening the financial ecosystem through customer protection, improved liquidity management, and enhanced credit flow to MSMEs, alongside steps to deepen financial markets. At Indian Overseas Bank, we view this stance as supportive of sustainable growth and remain focused on responsible credit delivery and customer-centric banking.”
