Markets Anticipate MPC Decision as Inflation and Oil Price Worries Persist

RBI MPC meet June 2026 LIVE updates: Governor Sanjay Malhotra of the Reserve Bank of India will reveal the MPC decision on June 5, as markets anticipate the repo rate to remain at 5.25% due to inflation concerns.

RBI MPC meet June 2026 LIVE updates: On Friday (June 5), Sanjay Malhotra, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, will present the decision from the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). Market analysts widely expect the central bank to maintain the benchmark repo rate at 5.25%.

This announcement follows a three-day MPC meeting that started on Wednesday (June 3), during which policymakers evaluated global uncertainties, particularly the ongoing conflict in West Asia, alongside the dynamics of domestic growth and inflation.

Market forecasts indicate that while the RBI is likely to maintain the current rates during this meeting, there may be a shift towards tightening in FY27 if inflationary pressures continue or worsen.

Inflation is a significant concern for the central bank, which targets 4% with a permissible band of plus or minus 2%. Policymakers are closely observing global commodity prices, particularly crude oil, and the risks of food inflation that may be heightened by geopolitical tensions.
