The Reserve Bank of India has cut its key interest rate for the first time this year. The repo rate, the level at which the central bank lends to commercial banks, has been reduced to 6.5 per cent, a drop of point two-five. It’s the lowest level in five years, with a fall in inflation being cited as the main reason by the central bank.
