RBI MPC keeps policy rate unchanged at 5.25%
The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) kept the benchmark policy rate unchanged at 5.25%. The committee observed that higher inflation was mostly on account of fuel and food prices, with little sign so far of price pressures becoming generalised across the economy. The pause reflects a wait-and-watch stance amid an uptick in headline inflation.
