RBI Monetary Policy: The Reserve Bank of India will hold its MPC meeting from February 5 to February 7, 2025. This will be the first meeting under the leadership of Governor Sanjay Malhotra, who took charge in December 2024.
Will the RBI cut rates?

RBI MPC meeting details:
Meeting dates: February 5–7, 2025
Repo rate announcement: February 7, 2025, at 10 am

RBI's action to increase liquidity?
In recent months, the RBI has taken several steps to ensure adequate liquidity in the economy. In January 2025, it announced that it would inject Rs. 1.5 lakh crore into the economy.
Another measure implemented by RBI to increase liquidity was the reduction in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by 50 basis points in December 2024, which resulted in the release of Rs 1.16 lakh crore into the banking system. Such measures will increase liquidity and further stabilize the banking sector.
