RBI MPC Meeting December 2025: When And Where To Watch Governor Sanjay Malhotra Live

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will convene from Wednesday, December 3 to 5, 2025, to discuss prominent economic issues, including the repo rate, liquidity trends, and inflation forecasts. This meeting, chaired by central bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra, comes amid notable economic growth and declining inflation rates, marking a critical moment for the central bank's monetary policy decisions. Experts have mixed opinions about the expectation from the central bank this time. Some of the experts believe that the central bank will give its final relief this year, reducing the repo rate from 0.25 bps to 5.25 per cent, while others think that the central bank will hold the policy repo rate this time. The MPC's discussions will focus on the current repo rate, which has remained at 5.50 per cent since its last meeting in October. During this session, the committee unanimously decided to maintain the rate, citing a significant reduction in inflation targets to 2.6 per cent for the financial year. The meeting will also evaluate economic growth projections, which have shown promising signs with GDP growth reaching 8.2 per cent in the last quarter. The outcomes of the MPC meeting will be announced on December 5 at 10:00 am IST. The announcement will be live-streamed on the RBI's official YouTube channel and social media platforms, providing transparency and accessibility to the public. Financial analysts and economists are divided on whether the RBI will implement a rate cut of 25 basis points or maintain the current rate, reflecting ongoing discussions in the financial community. Economists have expressed varying views regarding the RBI's potential actions. Bank of Baroda's report suggest that the central bank will keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.50. It said, "We expect the RBI to keep the repo rate steady at 5.50 per cent in its Dec'25. The stance is also expected to be maintained at neutral." Whereas, Mayur Modi, Co-founder & Co-CEO, MONEYBOXX FINANCE, expect a rate cut this time. "As the RBI Monetary Policy Committee convenes this month, all indicators point toward a favourable environment for a calibrated rate cut. Inflation has softened significantly, liquidity conditions have stabilised, and economic activity remains robust—creating an opportunity for the MPC to shift toward a more growth-supportive stance. A reduction in the repo rate at this stage could help ease financing costs, stimulate consumption, and strengthen investment sentiment across key sectors, particularly as the economy enters a high-demand cycle. At Moneyboxx, a favourable policy outcome would enhance the transmission of affordable credit to underserved borrowers, empowering small entrepreneurs and boosting livelihood opportunities across emerging India," he said.
