The Reserve Bank of India raised its key policy rate by 25 basis points to 5.5%, marking the first increase since 2023. This move aims to curb rising inflation, which has been increasing for 10 consecutive months and currently stands above the RBI's 4% target. The RBI signaled a shift to a "calibrated tightening" stance, with no rate cuts expected soon and the possibility of further hikes later in the year. This action aligns India with other major central banks tightening policies amid global inflation pressures and economic uncertainties.
