RBI MPC Meets December 2025: Where And How to Watch Governor’s Rate Decision Live

The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting concluded on December 5, 2025, with all eyes on the potential announcement of another interest rate cut amid persistent economic pressures. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra is scheduled to deliver the official monetary policy statement at 10:00 AM IST, outlining the committee's decisions on key rates such as the repo rate, which analysts speculate could be reduced by 25 basis points to further stimulate growth in a slowing economy. This three-day deliberation, spanning December 3 to 5, comes against a backdrop of moderating inflation and subdued industrial output, prompting market participants to anticipate accommodative measures to support recovery post-monsoon.

The MPC, comprising three external members and four internal RBI officials, has been closely monitored by economists and investors for signals on liquidity and credit flow. Speculation of a rate cut builds on the previous September 2025 decision, where the repo rate was trimmed by 50 basis points to 6.25 percent, marking a shift toward easing after a prolonged pause. Governor Malhotra, who assumed office in December 2024, emphasized in prior addresses the need for balanced growth, factoring in global uncertainties like geopolitical tensions and commodity price volatility. Today's announcement is expected to provide clarity on the inflation trajectory, projected to hover around 4.5 percent for the fiscal year.

For viewers eager to follow the proceedings live, the RBI's official website (rbi.org.in) will stream the governor's press conference starting at 10:00 AM IST. Additionally, financial news channels including NDTV Profit, CNBC-TV18, and ET Now will broadcast the event with expert commentary, while digital platforms like the RBI's YouTube channel and apps from major broadcasters offer real-time updates. Social media handles of these outlets will also provide live tweets and highlights, ensuring accessibility for a wide audience ranging from retail investors to policymakers.

As the economy navigates challenges like uneven consumption and external headwinds, the MPC's outcome could influence everything from home loan EMIs to stock market sentiments. A rate cut would likely boost borrower confidence and corporate investments, though experts caution that sustained relief depends on fiscal prudence from the government. With the statement just hours away, anticipation runs high for Governor Malhotra's insights, which could set the tone for India's monetary stance through the first half of 2026.
