Report Warns Inflation May Reach 6-7%, RBI May Raise Repo Rate Further
A report by Systematix Institutional Equities warns that India's inflation could rise to 6-7 percent in coming quarters, exceeding the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) current projections. The report highlights risks from rising input costs, elevated household inflation expectations averaging 9.1 percent, and broadening price pressures across sectors. It questions the RBI's assessment of limited demand and supply-side pressures, noting resilient domestic consumption, strong investment, and ongoing supply disruptions. This may necessitate further RBI interest rate hikes of 100-150 basis points.
