VB–G RAM G replaces MGNREGA with a 125-day guarantee

The VB–G RAM G Act, 2025 (assent 21 December 2025) replaces MGNREGA and guarantees 125 days of rural work a year, up from 100.

Parliament passed, and on 21 December 2025 the President assented to, the Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, 2025, known as VB–G RAM G. It replaces the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005.

The Act guarantees at least 125 days of wage employment a year to every rural household whose adults volunteer for unskilled manual work, up from 100. States may notify a pause of up to sixty days in a year so that farm labour is available at sowing and harvest; the 125 days are still owed over the rest of the year. Wages are to be paid weekly, or within fifteen days of the work, and planning power lies with gram sabhas and panchayats.

MPC cuts the repo rate to 5.25 per cent

The MPC cut the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25% on 5 December 2025, after inflation hit an all-time low.

At its 58th meeting, from 3 to 5 December 2025, the Monetary Policy Committee voted unanimously to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points, from 5.50 to 5.25 per cent, and kept the stance neutral. The standing deposit facility rate moved to 5.00 per cent, and the marginal standing facility rate and Bank Rate to 5.50 per cent.

The reason was inflation: headline CPI inflation had fallen to an all-time low in October 2025, led by food prices. The Reserve Bank cut its inflation projection for 2025-26 to 2.0 per cent and raised its growth projection to 7.3 per cent.

The launch was a commercial one: BlueBird Block-2 belongs to the US company AST SpaceMobile, and the mission was contracted through NewSpace India Limited, ISRO's commercial arm. Seven weeks earlier LVM3-M5 had set the record for the heaviest communication satellite sent to geosynchronous transfer orbit from India.
