The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) unveiled its fourth bi-monthly monetary policy for the current fiscal on Tuesday. In a big boost for the markets and economy, RBI governor Raghuram Rajan cut repo rate by 50 basis points.

It kept the CRR unchanged at 4 percent. This marks the fourth repo rate cut by the RBI since January 2015. However, it has lowered its Financial Year 2016 GDP growth target to 7.4 percent from 7.6 percent.
