Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Friday, December 5, 2025, said that the MPC (Monetary Policy Committee) voted unanimously to reduce the policy repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25 per cent.
The MPC had earlier reduced the key lending rate in June from 6% to 5.5% in view of a softening inflation. A cut in the repo rate is expected to translate into cheaper housing and vehicle loans for retail borrowers.
