RBI may hike rates by 0.25% in Oct policy amid inflation: Experts poll
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is likely to increase the repo rate by 0.25 per cent in the October monetary policy review due to mounting inflationary pressure amid the re-escalation of the West Asia crisis and also the rate hikes by global central banks, according to economists and bankers. If the RBI increases the rate in the upcoming policy, it would mark a reversal in the interest rate policy, which has witnessed rate cuts in 2025 and an extended pause thereafter, according to a PTI poll of 16 economists and bankers. The last repo rate hike was in February 2023, when the RBI raised the rate by 0.25 per cent to 6.50 per cent; it then kept the rate unchanged through 2023-24 before beginning its rate-cut cycle in 2025. Currently, the RBI's policy repo rate stands at 5.25 per cent. Coordination with global central bank hikes, rising inflation risks and strong growth momentum provide policy space to hike, said Kanika Pasricha, chief economic advisor at Union Bank of India.

The Steel Ministry has asked its undertakings, SAIL and NMDC, to explore mineral assets abroad to help secure long-term raw material requirements and support input costs, an official said.
