New Delhi, Aug. 5 -- The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday, 5 August, announced a status quo on benchmark interest rates and maintained a 'neutral' policy stance, in line with market expectations. The central bank said the Indian economy performed better than expected, even as headline CPI inflation inched up in Q1FY27 amid global challenges.

The RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra-led Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25% and maintain a 'neutral' stance in its August 2026 policy meeting.
