On June 5, 2026, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the latest repo rate decision following a three-day Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. Economists anticipate the RBI will maintain the repo rate at 5.25%, unchanged for the third consecutive time. This decision comes as inflationary pressures rise and the ongoing Iran-US conflict poses risks to India's economic stability, particularly affecting supply chains and energy costs. The announcement will be live-streamed on multiple platforms, including the RBI's official YouTube channel and its social media accounts, allowing the public to stay informed. Following the announcement, Malhotra will address the media at 12 noon, where he is expected to discuss the MPC's decision, inflation outlook, and the rupee's performance. The central bank has previously reduced the repo rate by 125 basis points since February 2025, and analysts are keen to hear the RBI's insights on liquidity conditions and global risks, especially given the rupee's recent decline to an all-time low of 96.95 against the US dollar. The central bank may announce measures to support the rupee during this period.
