RBI repo outlook and free UPI transactions
RBI likely to hold repo rate while UPI transactions become free, setting market tone.
RBI's upcoming monetary policy meeting is expected to keep the repo rate unchanged, signalling a hawkish pause as inflation risks linger. A simultaneous government notice that UPI users will face no transaction charges removes a cost barrier for digital payments, potentially boosting volumes and fintech earnings. Together, the rate stance and fee waiver set the tone for liquidity and consumer spending in the coming weeks.

Enforcement actions and probes with market fallout
Key enforcement and investigation stories – Kejriwal bail, Ram Temple finance probe, and solar import scrutiny.
The Delhi High Court will hear the ED’s plea on Arvind Kejriwal’s bail, a political enforcement case that can sway investor sentiment toward governance risk. In parallel, a parliamentary request for an independent probe into the finances of the Ram Temple adds another layer of political scrutiny, while a new investigation into alleged Chinese links in a surge of solar‑cell imports signals heightened security scrutiny on the renewable energy supply chain. These developments could affect sector valuations in politics‑sensitive stocks and renewable equipment makers.
