RBI Policy Eases Capital Market Financing, Keeps Repo Rate Steady

RBI kept repo rate unchanged at 5.5% with a neutral stance but announced key capital market measures: banks can now finance M&As, lending against shares raised to ₹1 crore, IPO financing limit hiked to ₹25 lakh, and withdrawal of 2016 curbs on large borrowers. These steps aim to boost market liquidity and corporate funding.
