In a surprise move and unorthodox style, RBI on 15th January, 2015, has reduced the Repo Rate by 25 bps to 7.75% (earlier it was 8%).

This is indication that India is entering a interest rate softening cycle.

SLR reduced from 22% to 21.50% wef 7/2/2015. However, No Change in Repo, Reverse Repo, MSF Rates as per announcement on 3rd February 2015 (Sixth Bi-Monthly Monetary Policy Review 2014-15)
