While most analysts anticipate a 25 basis points cut, the State Bank of India has projected a deeper cut of 50 basis points to give a stronger push to economic activity.RBI MPC announcement: Date and timeThe outcome of the discussions will be announced on Friday, June 6, at 10:00 AM by Governor Sanjay Malhotra.
