Analysts expect the Reserve Bank of India to raise the repo rate by 50 basis points before December 2026, potentially through two 25 basis point hikes in October and December. If both hikes occur, the repo rate could rise from 5.25 per cent to 6 per cent by year-end. Separately, HSBC estimates the current surplus of liquidity within the banking system.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

A rise in the repo rate prompts banks to revise floating lending rates, making home loans costlier for borrowers in Mumbai. This comes amid concerns that inflation, which climbed to 4.82 per cent in August, could exceed RBI projections if crude oil prices remain high.
