What happened
The Reserve Bank of India implemented policy repo rate cuts and released an October 2026 Bulletin on monetary policy transmission. The Bulletin found that the cumulative 125 basis point reduction in the policy repo rate between February 2025 and March 2026 resulted in a 93 basis point decline in the Weighted Average Lending Rate on fresh loans. This decline was composed of an 80 basis point interest rate effect and a 13 basis point composition effect.

Why it matters
The study examined how changes in lending rates and credit composition influence the transmission of monetary policy. The decline in the Weighted Average Lending Rate reflects that the monetary policy easing implemented by the Reserve Bank of India was transmitted to bank lending rates in India.
