RBI MPC LIVE updates: Will RBI stay put on rates? Markets open higher ahead of MPC announcement

Benchmark indices opened in positive territory on Friday morning, with the Sensex rising 167.71 points, or 0.23 per cent, to trade at 74,527.72 against its previous close of 74,360.01, having opened at 74,629.94.

All eyes are on the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee, which is widely expected to hold the repo rate at 5.25 per cent. “The MPC is likely to hold rates with a guidance of a rate hike later in the year to combat inflation, which is expected to rise in H2 FY27,” said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments. “RBI is likely to revise the GDP growth for FY27 downward and CPI inflation upward in the context of the energy shock and its implications.” The policy outcome is being closely tracked by investors in banking, real estate, and consumer discretionary sectors, all of which are sensitive to interest rate movements.

Inflation targeting framework should have included ‘exchange rate stability’ clause: Former RBI Governor Subbarao

The Inflation targeting (IT) framework, which was formally institutionalised in May 2016, should also have included the “exchange rate stability” clause as monetary policy, exchange rate policy and macroprudential policy are joined at the hip, according to RBI’s former Governor Duvvuri Subbarao.

Under the IT framework, RBI was entrusted with the responsibility of conducting monetary policy in India with the primary objective “to maintain price stability while keeping in mind the objective of growth”. There is, however, no mention of “exchange rate stability.” ​Read more here​

RBI MPC Meeting LIVE: Expert View | Rohit Arora, CEO and Co-Founder, Biz2X and Biz2Credit

“With inflation slowly becoming stable and the repo rate staying at 5.25% by the RBI, the forthcoming MPC meeting will be extremely important as far as shaping market sentiments considering the current global and local situation. As of now, the current global uncertainty situation, crude oil price fluctuations, and external trade problems are creating risks for both inflation and the overall liquidity environment. On the other hand, it should be mentioned that RBI has noted that the country’s economy is still resilient, and there is robust domestic demand in combination with positive banking and financial sector trends along with the rapid development of digital finance. These facts suggest that the policymakers will adopt a balanced approach. In the case of MSMEs, it is extremely important for business owners to have stable financing and policy conditions in order to manage cost pressures and keep on expanding and adopting new technologies. With any kind of positive signals from the RBI side, financial institutions will become more active in supporting their clients’ financing requirements with increased credit growth and capital access for underserved borrowers due to innovative approaches such as AI-enabled lending and other digital innovations.”

RBI MPC Meet 2026: Policy expectation

There is a buzz that RBI is likely to keep the benchmark policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25 per cent in the June monetary policy review meeting. While headline retail inflation stays at 3.48 per cent (below RBI’s target range of 4 per cent), prevailing risks from the ongoing West Asia conflict and elevated global crude oil prices threaten a sharp rise in inflation and economic uncertainty.

Hence, it is expected that the continuing geopolitical tensions, volatility in crude price, and rupee movements will heavily influence the policy outlook.

Date and Time of announcement

The bi-monthly MPC meeting is scheduled from June 3 to June 5, 2026. The policy outcome will be announced at 10:00 a.m. on June 5, followed by a press conference by Governor Malhotra later in the day.
