SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence RBI Policy Decoded The Repo Rate Hike: Inflation Gave the Cover, the Rupee Gave the Reason The RBI raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent on 7 October 2026. With the rupee at ₹96.78 to the dollar, the Fed at 3.75–4.00 percent and bank credit growing near 18 percent, the fuller story is bigger than August CPI of 4.8 percent. The Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent on 7 October 2026. It is the first hike since February 2023, and the stance has moved from neutral to calibrated tightening. The rate decision was unanimous. The Governor cited inflation. The Monetary Policy Committee said the inflation outlook is no longer as comfortable as it was last year, and near-term rate cuts were taken off the table.

Guwahati: A series of coordinated blasts rocked Assam on Thursday, killing over 50 20 people and injuring more than 100, police and eyewitnesses said.
Four blasts occurred in Assam's principal city of Guwahati and three each in Barpeta and Kokrajhar districts. Several of the injured were said to be in a critical condition.
Thick black smoke billowed into the sky as the blasts in Guwahati targeted busy markets like Fancy Bazar, Pan Bazar and the district courts. One blast went off a mere 100 metres from the residence of Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi.
The mangled remains of cars littered Guwahati's streets even as fire brigade personnel and rescue workers rushed in to control the flames.
Curfew was clamped in Guwahati on Thursday after rampaging mobs attacked police vehicles and commuter buses in the wake of the serial blasts that rocked the state, killing at least 30 people and injuring over 100.
Police fired in the air to disperse the mobs, which set ablaze about a dozen vehicles. There were no injuries in the firing, police said.
