RBI MPC Meeting Live Updates: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra is set to announce the monetary policy outcome at 10 am today. A CNBC-TV18 poll of top economists has shown a clear divide, with half expecting a 25 basis point rate cut, while the other half being of the view that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will keep the rates unchanged.

In its previous meeting in June, the RBI had surprised the market with a 50 basis points repo rate cut to 5.5%.
