SC summons officials on firecracker pollution

  • The impact of firecrackers on the environment, the extent of change in the air quality and the safety standards in place should be collected by these bodies.
  • It cannot shift its burden of protecting the environment and framing wholistic air pollution standards, covering firecrackers also.
  • Continuous monitoring was going on and random checks of firecrackers by PESO and the Controller of Explosives are done.

RBI may cut key interest rate by 25 basis points

  • The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to reduce the key policy rate or the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 6% in its monetary policy review meeting scheduled for August 2 while maintaining neutral stance on interest rates.
  • If the RBI does cut the repo rate, this could only be the second such instance by the monetary policy committee (MPC) since it was established in October 2016.
  • The expectation of a rate cut is mainly due to a fall in retail inflation, which eased to 1.54% in June — a record low, after reading 2.18% in May.
  • Inflation for June was lower than the RBI’s target band of 2-6%.
  • However, during the last policy review in June, the central bank revised its inflation projection downwards to 2-3.5% in the first half of the year and 3.5-4.5% in the second half — opening up the possibility of a rate reduction.

Whats next? Difference b/w repo & reverse repo rates.How will these rates affect economy?

What is NHB Residex?
