Changes to India's repo rate since June 2000
The Reserve Bank of India kept its key interest rate unchanged, as widely expected, retaining its focus on bringing inflation down even as global market volatility left other major central banks poised to ease policy.
The RBI's monetary policy committee kept the key lending rate, or repo rate, unchanged at 6.50%.
The standing deposit facility rate and the marginal standing facility rate also remained unchanged.
