the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) concluded its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, announcing a 25 basis point reduction in the policy repo rate, bringing it down to 6.00%. This marks the second rate cut since February 2025, aiming to bolster economic growth amid rising global trade tensions, particularly following the U.S. imposition of 26% tariffs on Indian imports. ​ The MPC's decision reflects a dovish stance, seeking to support domestic consumption and investment in light of external challenges. Inflation remains under control, with projections for the fiscal year 2025/26 at 4.2%. ​ Regarding the Cabinet meeting held on April 9, 2025, specific details about the discussions and decisions made have not been publicly disclosed at this time.
