RBI MPC Meeting 2025 Live Streaming: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is set to announce its second monetary policy decision for FY26 today, June 6, 2025, at 10:00 AM. This will conclude the three-day Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, which began on Tuesday, June 4. Broad consensus suggests that the RBI will cut the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps).

MPC Meeting Expectations

This will be Governor Sanjay Malhotra’s third rate announcement since taking over from Shaktikanta Das. The MPC, which cut rates in both February and April 2025, has already brought the repo rate down to 6 per cent and shifted its stance to ‘accommodative’. Banks have responded by lowering their external benchmark-linked lending rates (EBLRs) and marginal cost of funds-based lending rates (MCLR).

According to Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist at Bank of Baroda, a further 25 bps cut is expected given comfortable liquidity and tame inflation. “The commentary on growth and inflation will also be crucial as revisions are expected,” he added.

Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist at ICRA, sees room for more easing. “A 25 bps cut is expected today, followed by two more cuts, bringing the repo rate to 5.25 per cent by the cycle’s end,” she said.

Live Streaming Details Shared by RBI

The RBI has announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the live stream of Governor Malhotra’s address will begin at 10 AM on June 6, 2025. Viewers can tune in via the central bank’s YouTube channel, official X account, and the RBI website.

“Watch live: RBI Governor’s statement and press conference on June 6, 2025, from 10 AM onwards,” the RBI posted on X.

At noon, the same platforms will also broadcast the post-policy press conference by Governor Malhotra, where he will address the media and answer questions about the decision.

Highlights Of RBI’s April MPC Meeting

The RBI had reduced the rate by 0.25 per cent points, expecting inflation to ease due to falling food and crude oil prices. This decision followed the rate cut in February—the first in almost five years (since May 2020)—when the repo rate was lowered by 0.25 per cent points to 6.25 per cent, with a shift in policy stance from ‘neutral’ to ‘accommodative’. Several factors, including the inflation trajectory, recently released GDP growth data, industrial output, and the outlook for the monsoon, among others, are expected to influence the RBI Monetary Policy Committee’s decision.
