Policy repo rate (%) — step changes by MPC decision

What this means for a banker: After a 250 bps tightening (2022–23) and a long hold at 6.50%, RBI pivoted to easing in 2025 — cutting 125 bps to 5.25% — and has now held for three straight meetings with a neutral stance. Floating-rate (EBLR) loan books reprice with these moves within a quarter; the current pause signals stable EMIs near-term.
