The RBI has kept the repo rate unchanged, after five consecutive rate cuts. The committee stated that it will maintain an “accommodative stance as long as it is necessary.” The RBI Governor added:

 

 

The MPC recognizes that there is monetary policy space for future action. However, given the evolving growth-inflation dynamics, the MPC felt it appropriate to take a pause at this juncture. Accordingly, the MPC decided to keep the policy repo rate unchanged and continue with the accommodative stance as long as it is necessary to revive growth, while ensuring that inflation remains within the target.

 

 

In the aftermath of the announcement, the yield on the benchmark 10-year sovereign bonds rose ten basis points to 6.56 per cent.

 

Karvy Fintech, the Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) for 23 mutual funds renamed itself as KFin Technologies, in a bid to disassociate itself from the controversy surrounding its former parent company. Earlier part of the Karvy group, KFin Technologies was acquired by private equity player, General Atlantic approximately a year ago. General Atlantic announced the appointment of M.V. Nair as non-executive Chairman of the board of KFin Technologies.
