RBI’s Rate Cut to 5.25percent Boosts Investor Confidence, Sets Stage for 7.3percent GDP Growth

Mr. Srinivasan Vaidyanathan, Operating Partner, Essar Capital 

“The RBI’s rate cut to 5.25% reinforces confidence in India’s growth trajectory and strengthens sentiment across capital markets. With GDP now projected at 7.3% and liquidity-boosting measures announced, the policy creates a favourable environment for both domestic and foreign investors to deploy capital into India’s long-term growth sectors. Lower borrowing costs and macro stability will further accelerate private investment, even as global uncertainties persist.”

Pankaj Kalra, CEO, Essar Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Limited

“The RBI’s 25 bps rate cut and neutral stance strengthen confidence in India’s economic momentum. A stronger growth outlook and supportive financial conditions will enable the energy sector to invest more confidently in domestic capacity and cleaner fuels. This policy stability reinforces India’s path toward a more secure and sustainable energy future.”

Ashish Rajgarhia, Executive Director, Essar Ports

“The RBI’s rate cut provides timely support for India’s infrastructure and logistics ecosystem. With stronger growth projections and improved financing conditions, there is now an even greater momentum to accelerate development, enhance efficiency, and strengthen connectivity across the country’s supply chains.”
