The Reserve bank of india is scheduled to make the announcement and the monetary policy committee (MPC) is expected to maintain the key lending rates due to inflationary pressure along with high bond yields during the first monetary policy review of FY22, experts  said.

Economists are of the view that through the fiscal year 2022, the RBI may keep rates unchanged and may be hike rates towards the end of the ongoing fiscal year or the next.  For the first half of FY22, the inflation forecast has been kept at 5.2 percent while it has been brought down to 4.4 percent in Q3 and 5.1 percent in the fourth quarter.
