π What Happened in the RBI Policy Meeting?
On June 6, 2025, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced important updates about interest rates and India’s economy. The key takeaway is:
π½ RBI reduced the repo rate by 0.50% to 5.50% to boost economic growth.
This is great news if you have loans or want to start a new investment!
π What is Repo Rate and Why Does it Matter?
Repo rate is the interest rate at which RBI lends money to banks. If it is reduced:
-
Banks get money cheaper.
-
Banks can reduce interest on loans and EMIs.
-
This encourages more people to borrow, spend, and invest — which boosts the economy.
π‘ Example:
If your home loan interest rate was 9.0%, now your bank may reduce it to 8.5%. This means lower EMIs!
