Impact on Loans, EMIs

The increase is likely to impact loans and equated monthly installments for customers. Most corporate loans will also be impacted.

Notably, EMIs of loans such as personal or auto loans that are linked to MCLR, and will rise, while home loans which are tied to the repo rate will not witness a rise.

Repo rate has remained unchanged. The Reserve Bank of India has maintained it at 6.5 per cent since February 2023. A 4:2 majority of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to keep the repo rate unchanged, marking the eighth time the central bank has left rates steady. The three-day RBI MPC meeting, chaired by RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, was held from June 5 to June 7.
