Whenever the banks have any shortage of funds they can borrow it from RBI. Repo rate is the rate at which our banks borrow rupees from RBI. A reduction in the repo rate will help banks to get money at a cheaper rate. When the repo rate increases borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive.
Hence, When the repo rate is hiked, the bank gets loan at a higher interest rate from RBI, and henceforth Banks give loan to retail customer/ corporate customer at a more higher rate, so demand for the loan from the customers of bank decreases decreases and there is less money in the market.
Since, the liquidity of the marked is sucked by increasing Repo Rate, public can't afford to pay more for any particular commodity, and hence the inflation of the economy gets controlled.
