cut: 25 basis points
lowering: 5%

Home loan borrowers could benefit from a potential 25 basis points cut in the RBI's repo rate during the February policy review, lowering it to 5%. This move is anticipated due to easing inflation pressures and the RBI's dovish stance. A final rate cut may also occur in April 2026, depending on economic conditions.
