Rising food and energy prices have shifted trader sentiment toward a 25 basis point repo rate increase at the RBI’s October 5-7 meeting, with August CPI inflation accelerating to 4.82 percent and forecasts pointing to a breach of the 6 percent upper tolerance band in the third quarter. Elevated crude oil prices above $100 per barrel amid geopolitical tensions, resilient GDP growth near 6.7 percent, and the Federal Reserve’s tightening path have reinforced expectations for preemptive tightening from the current 5.25 percent level. Recent analyst revisions from institutions including SBI Research and Nomura now assign high probability to consecutive 25 basis point hikes in October and December, aligning with market-implied odds that reflect skin-in-the-game consensus on near-term policy normalization.

The resolution source will be official information from the Reserve Bank of India Monetary Policy Committee, including the statement or release from its October 2026 meeting, scheduled for October 5 to 7, 2026, with the decision to be announced on October 7, 2026, as listed on the official Reserve Bank of India calendar (https://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/BS_PressReleaseDisplay.aspx?prid=62422). This market may resolve as soon as the statement or release of the Reserve Bank of India Monetary Policy Committee resulting from its October 2026 meeting with relevant data is issued.
If the specified rate is defined by an upper and lower bound, the relevant change will be the change to the upper bound.
If the specified rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded according to the following guidelines. Increases or decreases of less than 25 bps will be rounded to 25 bps (e.g. an increase or decrease of 10 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 25 bps). Increases or decreases of greater than 25 bps will be rounded to the nearest 25 bps and will be rounded away from 0 in cases of equidistance (e.g., an increase or decrease of 37.5 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 50 bps). Displayed options of “Increase” or “Decrease” will include policy rate increases or decreases of any size.
If the specified meeting is postponed to a date and time before the start of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve based on the outcome of that postponed meeting. If the specified meeting is cancelled, or postponed such that no decision is announced by the start of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the “No Change” bracket. Emergency changes to the specified rate not resulting from the specified meeting will not be considered.
