The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised the repo rate by 25 basis points, marking its first policy change in over a year. Governor Sanjay Malhotra indicated this move is aimed at taming inflation while ensuring growth remains sustainable. Consequently, the benchmark equity indices have opened on a positive note, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex trading higher in early trade.

This decision signals the central bank's continued vigilance against price pressures, which could influence borrowing costs for banks and businesses. For investors, the focus now shifts to how this rate hike impacts corporate earnings and the overall liquidity in the market. Market participants will closely watch the central bank's future outlook and its guidance on the economic recovery trajectory.
