The Reserve Bank of India has cut repo rate by 25 bps, a move that could bring relief to borrowers.
This will bring down the RBI's main lending rate to 7.75 per cent from 8 per cent earlier.
RBI Governor says inflation is likely to be below 6% by January 2016.
The governor says sustained fiscal consolidation key is to monetary easing and reiterated the government pledge to maintain fiscal deficit target.
