Here are the key highlights of RBI's bi-monthly monetary policy

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept the key rates unchanged in its fifth bi-monthly policy, announced on Wednesday.

With no change in the rates, the repo rate — the rate at which the central bank lends funds to the commercial banks — stands at 6.50 percent, while the reverse repo rate — the rate at which the central bank borrows money from commercial banks — stands at 6.25 percent.

The MPC, which takes the decisions on the key interest rates, has six members, three of which are members of the RBI, while the rest are appointed by the Government of India.
