New Delhi: In a bid to tame the soaring inflation in the country, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday hiked key repo rate by 50 basis points (bps) to 4.90 per cent.
RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das had already indicated that there may be another hike in the repo rate though he refrained from quantifying it.
Further, Das also said that the MPC has unanimously decided to keep the policy stance of ‘withdrawal of accommodation’.
