RBI kept rates steady at 5.25% — no surprise, but here’s what matters: India’s growth forecast for this year is 6.9%.

That’s solid, but down from last year’s 7.6%. Why? War in West Asia + El Niño = higher fuel prices, broken supply chains, costlier imports. RBI’s watching closely. Not panicking… yet. But they’re ready to act if inflation spikes. Good news? Our economy’s stronger now; can take a hit. Bad news? Rupee depreciated more than usual last year. RBI won’t fight that directly; market decides. But they’ll smooth wild swings. Translation: Stability is the goal. Not control. For job seekers? Slower growth might mean fewer new hires in govt sectors; but RBI’s calm suggests no crisis. Watch this space.
