Lending rates expected to be lowered by 25 pts

RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the first bi-monthly monetary policy of the current fiscal on Wednesday, the central bank said, amid expectations of a 25 basis points reduction in the short-term lending rate.

In February, the MPC slashed the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25 per cent. It was the first reduction since May 2020.
