Industry Pushes for RBI Rate Cut as Economists Predict Policy Pause

Mumbai, December 1, 2025 — Leading industry bodies have called on the Reserve Bank of India to consider a repo rate cut to support growth, even as economists widely expect the central bank to maintain the current rates in its upcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. Companies argue that lower borrowing costs could stimulate investment and consumption amid slowing economic activity.

Analysts note that while inflation remains a concern, targeted rate reductions in key sectors could help revive demand without destabilizing financial markets. The MPC’s decision later this week will be closely watched by investors, businesses, and households, as it sets the tone for credit conditions across the economy.
