India's RBI Keeps Interest Rates Unchanged

(Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India kept interest rates unchanged at 8.0 percent on Tuesday as widely expected, staying focused on containing inflation while adopting a more dovish tone in response to the government's call for help to revive economic growth.

Forty-one of 45 economists polled by Reuters had forecast that the RBI would keep the repo rate unchanged at its policy review, while four had expected a reduction of 25 basis points.
