RBI

The Reserve Bank of India — the country's central bank. It sets monetary policy, issues currency, regulates banks, manages foreign exchange rules, and controls the repo rate that influences interest rates across the economy.

Example

When the RBI raises the repo rate, banks typically raise home loan rates within weeks, increasing EMIs for borrowers on floating rates.
