RBI MPC Meet: Today is the last day of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the Reserve Bank of India. Today on 6 February, the Reserve Bank will announce its policy for FY26. After several cuts in the repo rate last year, people are now in a dilemma whether RBI will make another cut in the repo rate or it will be kept as it is.
Expectations of repo rate cut low
The chances of a cut in the repo rate this time are very less because this policy review is taking place at such an important juncture, where just a few days ago in the Budget 2026, the target of increasing the capital expenditure by 12 percent and the fiscal deficit target was fixed at 4.3 percent for the financial year 2026-27.
Apart from this, the external environment also seems to be improving. A trade deal has been signed between America and India, due to which 18 percent tariff will be imposed on Indian imports in America, which was earlier 25 percent. Apart from this, the recent FTA between India and EU will increase trade and investment, which will maintain the flow of capital. In December, the committee once again cut the repo rate by 0.25 percent. In such a situation, economists now believe that the scope for further cuts by RBI has reduced.
When and where to watch live?
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the decisions taken in the MPC meeting in a press conference to be held on Friday, February 6, 2026 at 10:00 am. Apart from the repo rate, estimates regarding inflation and GDP growth will also be shared and accordingly information about the future policy will be given.
You will be able to watch the policy statement and Governor Malhotra’s speech live on RBI’s official website, RBI’s YouTube channel or RBI’s official social media handles on X (earlier Twitter). Apart from this, real-time updates and livestream links will also be shared on the website and social media platforms of the Finance Ministry and Press Information Bureau (PIB). MPC members are expected to interact with the media and answer questions during the post-policy briefing.
