RBI May Raise Interest Rates in Late 2023 and 2026 Amid Inflation Concerns
India's Reserve Bank may raise interest rates later this year or in 2026 due to persistent inflation pressures, including elevated crude oil prices and rising food costs. Brokerage firms Motilal Oswal and Nomura, along with Deloitte's Chief Economist, anticipate two rate hikes in 2026, possibly in October and December. Despite inflation concerns, India's economy is expected to grow around 7% in FY27, supported by strong credit growth and foreign capital inflows. Global central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, are also tightening monetary policy amid inflation risks.
