As the markets await the announcement, the spotlight will be on the new RBI Governor and his stance on the financial scenario.

The newly-appointed governor of the RBI, Sanjay Malhotra, with a mostly new Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to boot, has kicked off his career by making a sharp break with his predecessor Shaktikanta Das who retired in December last year after helming the central bank for six years.

This is the first meeting of the panel under the leadership of RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, who assumed office in December 2024 following the end of Shaktikanta Das' tenure.
