This decision comes in the backdrop of India&#8217;s inflation slowly edging closer to the RBI&#8217;s comfort zone of <strong>4%<\/strong>, although challenges remain due to food price volatility. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), by a majority of 5:1, voted to keep the policy stance focused on <strong>withdrawal of accommodation<\/strong> to ensure inflation remains aligned with the target while supporting growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inflation_Outlook_Mixed_Signals_Careful_Approach\"><\/span><strong>Inflation Outlook: Mixed Signals, Careful Approach<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RBI remains cautious about <strong>headline inflation<\/strong>, especially due to persistent food inflation. Although <strong>core inflation<\/strong>\u2014which excludes food and fuel\u2014has moderated, high vegetable prices have pushed overall inflation beyond the target in recent months. Governor <strong>Shaktikanta Das<\/strong> highlighted the need to remain watchful, stating that inflation management is critical to sustaining India\u2019s economic growth momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GDP_Growth_Forecast_for_2025%E2%80%9326_Raised_to_70\"><\/span><strong>GDP Growth Forecast for 2025\u201326 Raised to 7.0%<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The central bank raised the <strong>GDP growth forecast for 2025\u201326 to 7.0%<\/strong>, up from earlier estimates of 6.8%. This revision reflects confidence in strong domestic demand, robust urban consumption, and improvement in rural activity.

This is done to ensure inflation remains within the 2\u20136% band, and financial stability is not compromised. The stance indicates that rate cuts are not likely until inflation risks subside substantially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Highlights_Liquidity_and_Digital_Rupee\"><\/span><strong>Other Highlights: Liquidity and Digital Rupee<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RBI plans to manage excess <strong>liquidity<\/strong> in the banking system proactively. It also discussed plans to expand the scope of the <strong>Digital Rupee<\/strong> pilot, aimed at enhancing efficiency in the financial ecosystem. Moreover, the central bank reiterated its commitment to <strong>financial inclusion<\/strong> through digital infrastructure and regulated innovations in the fintech space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" id=\"RBI-monetary-policy-2025\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.etimg.com\/thumb\/width-420,height-315,imgsize-299756,resizemode-75,msid-123132610\/news\/economy\/indicators\/rbi-gdp-growth-2025-central-bank-keeps-fy26-growth-forecast-unchanged-at-6-5\/rbi-governor-sanjay-malhotra-in-post-monetary-policy-press-conference-file.jpg\" alt=\"RBI monetary policy 2025\" title=\"RBI monetary policy 2025\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RBI monetary policy 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B_Why_This_News_is_Important\"><\/span><strong>B) Why This News is Important<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relevant_for_Multiple_Government_Exams\"><\/span><strong>Relevant for Multiple Government Exams<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RBI\u2019s Monetary Policy Statement is highly relevant for exams like <strong>UPSC, SSC, RBI Grade B, NABARD, SBI PO, IBPS PO, and State PSCs<\/strong>.

After achieving relative stability in 2024, the RBI adopted a <strong>wait-and-watch<\/strong> approach, pausing rate hikes for several consecutive meetings. The stance of <strong>withdrawal of accommodation<\/strong> has remained unchanged since mid-2023, emphasizing caution in easing policy too soon, despite global trends of softening inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach reflects the RBI\u2019s dual mandate of <strong>containing inflation<\/strong> and <strong>ensuring growth<\/strong>, while also managing <strong>external
