Key gauges remain in green; RBI keeps repo rate unchanged
Oct-01-2025

Indian equity benchmarks remained in green in morning deals, after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept its policy interest rate unchanged at 5.5 per cent for the second consecutive time, citing concerns over tariff uncertainties. Traders took some support with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s statement that India is focusing on self-reliance by building capabilities and resilient supply chains, which will help the country tackle global challenges like weaponisation of trade. However, gains remain capped as some concern came with exchange data showed foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) remained net sellers of Indian equities for the seventh straight session on Tuesday. The overseas investors sold stocks worth around Rs 2,327.09 crore. On the global front, Asian markets are trading mostly in green as traders remained optimistic about further rate cuts after a bigger than expected decrease in U.S. consumer confidence in September.

Meanwhile, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that India is focusing on self-reliance by building capabilities and resilient supply chains, which will help the country tackle global challenges like weaponisation of trade. Moreover, he said the government is focusing on self-confidence to achieve big goals and protect India's interests.

He stated ‘In this new geopolitical and geo economic order, India is working on three major principles - atmanirbharta or self-reliance ...we are building capabilities, supply chains, and value chains ...which can give us an end-to-end assurance that we will not be subject to any weaponisation of trade and we will be always be in a position to meet our international obligations.’

The remarks assume significance as global trade has been disrupted due to the tariff imposition by the US. The US has imposed a steep 50% tariff on Indian goods entering American markets from August 27. Further, the minister also said that India provides huge opportunities at a time when there are turbulence and volatility at global trade front.
