Notably, this is the fourth such hike by the Reserve bank of India in this financial year.
Earlier, the RBI had hiked the repo rate by 40 bos in an off-cycle meeting in May and 50 bos in June and August.
Notably, the raging inflation and a falling rupee which hit an all-time low earlier this week following a strengthening of the dollar can be the reason behind the Repo hike.
