RBI Begins Policy Meet; Rate Cut Decision Due June 6 – Real Estate, Banks & NBFCs Pin Hopes on Easing

**Headline: RBI Begins Policy Meet; Rate Cut Decision Due June 6** The Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), led by Governor Sanjay Malhotra, has commenced its three-day meeting with a decision scheduled for June 6. Following two consecutive 25 basis point (bps) cuts in February and April, which brought the repo rate down to 6%, markets now anticipate another possible reduction — potentially 25 bps or even a bold 50 bps cut — as global uncertainties mount due to new tariff tensions triggered by Donald Trump's policies. If implemented, this would mark the third successive rate cut aimed at bolstering economic growth.
