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.

Buy Bhusan Steel Ltd at around Rs.34-35, for short term targets of Rs.47-51. There are media reports that the Tata Group is on the fray to buy Bhusan Energy Ltd and pay up its debt. It recently concluded the acquisition of Bhushan Steel Ltd through an insolvency court for Rs.35,200 crore.
Tatas have offered Rs.500-Rs.600 crore to settle the loans of about Rs.2,500 crore of Bhushan Energy, the second company owned by Neeraj Singhal that is facing bankruptcy proceedings. Singhal’s flagship Bhushan Steel was sold to Tata Steel last month under the bankruptcy law. 
Bhushan Energy’s plant is located within the premises of Bhushan Steel’s plant at Meramandali, Dhenkanal district in Odisha and was built primarily to power the steel plant and therefore makes economic sense for Tata to bid for it, said senior bank officials.
