There was no change in the repo rate
RBI decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25 percent in its bi-monthly monetary policy review. This decision was taken unanimously in the six-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the central bank. Along with this, RBI also maintained its neutral monetary stance. Which indicates that at present there is little possibility of change in rates.
There was rise and fall in these shares
Among Sensex companies, ITC recorded the highest rise of 5.09 percent. Apart from this, shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank, Hindustan Unilever, Bharti Airtel, Bajaj Finance, Power Grid and Bajaj Finserv were also in gain.

RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra informed about the proposal to approve lending to REITs to promote financing in the real estate sector. However, banks will be given this approval only with some prudent security measures. This announcement is expected to provide long-term financial support to the real estate and credit ecosystem.
