RBI MPC Meeting 2025: Date, time and where to watch RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra live

The all-new Monetary Policy Committee under new RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra is set to hold key deliberations from February 4. All eyes will be on the February 7 announcement, when Governor Malhotra may announce change in the key rates. An MC poll also say that there are expectations of 25 BPS rate cut on February 7. This means that the benchmark lending rate maybe slashed to 6.25 percent from the existing rate of 6.5 percent.

This will be the first MPC since Malhotra assumed the office in December last year after his predecessor Shaktikanta Das’s tenure ended on December 10, 2024. While there is a lot of anticipation around the rate cut, the central bank has been taking critical measures to boost liquidity. Last month, RBI had announced measures to inject Rs 1.5 lakh crore of liquidity. Previously, in December last year, the central bank had introduced Rs 1.16 lakh crore of liquidity due to CRR reduction of 50 BPS. As we wait for the key decision, here’s all you need to know about the upcoming RBI MPC.
