Post Fed rate hike, experts see up to 50bps RBI policy tightening in CY26
After the US Federal Reserve raised rates, experts expect India's central bank, the RBI (Reserve Bank of India), to tighten policy by up to 50 basis points this year. They say the main point is the change in direction, not the size. Hikes are expected at both the October and December policy meetings, so borrowers should plan for higher interest costs.
