“Amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and softened FPI inflows, India Inc was looking for clear direction and prioritisation—and the RBI’s monetary stance has delivered just that. The 50 bps cut signals a strong push toward boosting capital investments, supporting domestic expansion, and reinforcing policy support for infrastructure, industry, and macroeconomic stability. It reflects a decisive step toward sustaining India’s growth momentum in a complex global environment.”
Dhanpat Nahata, Managing Partner, Essar Capital
“The RBI’s front-loaded 50 basis points rate cut, is a decisive decision amidst internal and external disturbances. It should give confidence besides catalysing growth. The shift to a neutral stance, is indicative of supporting initiatives and measure to engender economic growth while maintaining price stability. With borrowing costs easing, demand is expected to rise, boosting consumption and lifting market sentiment. Together, these dynamics provide a solid runway for India’s GDP growth to accelerate.”
Srinivasan Vaidyanathan, Operating Partner, Essar Capital
“The RBI’s bold rate cut is a clear signal to industry — accelerate. With inflation anchored and liquidity improving, this pivot supports long-gestation investments across energy value chains. For upstream and transition-fuel players, it opens up room to scale exploration, enhance output, and back India’s energy security goals with confidence.”
