RBI keeps repo rate unchanged at 5.25%, boosts rupee with new measures

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% during its Monetary Policy Committee meeting, citing increased inflation risks. This decision is significant as it reflects the RBI's neutral stance amid economic challenges. Additionally, the RBI has introduced measures to enhance the rupee's strength by making it easier for foreign investors and NRIs to invest in Indian securities, which is crucial for attracting foreign capital and stabilizing the balance of payments.
