Kalpataru Ltd and Kalpataru Projects International Ltd Welcome RBI’s Balanced Approach in Monetary Policy

Mumbai, October 3, 2025 — Kalpataru Ltd and Kalpataru Projects International Ltd today shared their views on the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.50%, underscoring its significance for sustaining economic growth and investor confidence.

Mr. Parag Munot, MD, Kalpataru Ltd, said:

“The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.50% reflects a balanced approach to supporting economic growth while keeping inflation in check. The previous rate cuts have already improved liquidity. Such policy continuity strengthens investor confidence, encourages long-term investments, and ensures sustainable growth in residential and commercial real estate, even amid global uncertainties.”

Mr. Manish Mohnot, MD, Kalpataru Projects International Ltd, added:

“The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.50% reflects a prudent and balanced approach to control inflation and support economic growth, amidst the continuing global uncertainties and volatile market conditions. With 100 basis points already reduced earlier this year, the central bank is rightly allowing the effects of rate cuts to percolate through the economy. This cautious stance not only safeguards India’s growth momentum but also helps anchor the rupee’s stability. For infrastructure and capital-intensive sectors, such policy continuity builds confidence, enabling Engineering, Procurement, and Construction firms to plan long-term investments with greater clarity and resilience.”

Background:

The Reserve Bank of India has kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.50%, marking the second consecutive pause after a cumulative 100 basis point cut earlier this year. This decision comes in the backdrop of global uncertainties including new U.S. tariffs on Indian imports, H1-B visa issues, GST reforms, and geopolitical tensions.

RBI has lowered its CPI inflation forecast to 2.8% from 3.1% in August, citing strong consumer demand and GST rate cuts. GDP growth projections for FY26 have been revised upward to 6.8% from 6.5%, reflecting confidence in India’s economic resilience despite global headwinds.
