This revision follows after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) last week cut the repo rate from 6.50% to 6.25%—the first such reduction since 2020. Since the repo rate cut lowers banks' cost of funds, it subsequently affects the lending and deposit rates. A reduced repo rate will lead to lower fixed deposit (FD) interest rates, and vice versa.
