Jun-27-2025

Rupee rises against US Dollar: Indian rupee rose against the greenback on the back of strong FII inflows and firm domestic equity markets. Lower level of American currency index also favoured the Indian currency.

All banks should bring down lending rates for speedy transmission of policy rate: An article published in the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) June Bulletin has said that all banks should bring down their lending rates for speedy transmission of the policy rate, which was lowered by 50 basis points earlier this month.

He said changing fuel will not only reduce pollution but will also bring down logistic cost, and added that by making new roads and change in fuel logistic cost will be in single digit and come down to nine per cent by the end of the current year. He said ‘I am confident that by making new roads and change in fuel our logistic cost will be in single digit, that is nine per cent and by the end of this year’. 

He said the latest survey indicates that India's logistic cost has reduced by six per cent.
