flag India's central bank holds interest rates steady at 5.25% amid liquidity efforts and economic stability goals.

flag The Reserve Bank of India is expected to keep its policy rate unchanged at 5.25% during its February 4–6 meeting, pausing a 125-basis-point cut since February 2025. flag Officials cite ongoing fiscal consolidation, rupee depreciation, and weak deposit growth as reasons for the hold. flag The central bank plans to inject over Rs 2 lakh crore in liquidity via open market operations, foreign exchange swaps, and variable rate repos to stabilize bond markets and manage currency risks. flag Despite Rs 6.6 lakh crore in liquidity already injected this fiscal year, bond yields remain high, prompting calls for more targeted operations. flag The Union Budget 2026 supports macroeconomic stability, with the fiscal deficit projected to narrow to 4.3% of GDP and the debt-to-GDP ratio expected to decline.
