The Reserve Bank of India maintained its benchmark repo rate of 4% and the reverse repo rate of 3.35%.
The central bank has kept the status quo for the ninth time in a row.
The repo rate is the interest rate at which the central bank lends to its customers in exchange for government securities.
In contrast, the reverse repo rate allows banks to deposit funds with the central bank and earn interest on them.
The central bank also maintained its 9.5 percent growth forecast for the fiscal year 2021-'22.
