Repeating list data entry - without mouse
We have a requirement where the users do not have mouse to click events.
Data to be entered into a repeating layout (typical Expand pane scenario).
What should be the UI for such a scenario?

This is possible with expand pane repeat grids. The little expand arrow at the beginning of each row is keyboard accessible.
But with that said, if you can avoid having a lot of expand/collapse/hide/unhide type of UI, it will simplify the overall design and generally make it more keyboard and screen reader friendly.

Thank you for the quick response.
Yeah, that option (arrow) is there but the user experience as mentioned by you - is the concern. if there is a list of four or five such expand collapse thing, it really makes it awful from user experience stand point.
I would like to know if we have an existing UX pattern that solves this.
