Summary

RBI GDP Growth 2026: The Reserve Bank of India raised its FY27 GDP growth forecast to 6.7 percent. It kept the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25 percent. The central bank cited resilient domestic economic activity and a better first quarter. Inflation risks from higher oil prices and weather shocks cloud the outlook. The RBI maintains a neutral stance, awaiting more clarity on inflation.

Possibly the same underlying story as RBI MPC meeting August 2026 highlights: Repo rate decision, inflation outlook & GDP forecast; key takeaways from Governor Sanjay Malhotra's speech — flagged automatically for review, never merged automatically.
