In a recent announcement, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has increased interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the new rate to 5.50% and adjusted its stance to 'calibrated tightening' from 'neutral'. This marks the first rate hike since February 2023.
RBI Governor Sanjay Malik stated, "The ongoing supply-side pressures from the deficient Southwest monsoon, El Nino conditions, and high volatility in international oil prices are the key reasons for this decision."
"The central bank's focus is on maintaining price stability while supporting economic growth, which is why we have taken this action," Malik added.
The RBI's decision to raise interest rates was based on the latest data and analysis, as well as the need to address the challenges presented by the supply-side pressures.
"The RBI's stance change is a response to the evolving economic conditions, including the supply-side pressures," Kapoor, a senior economist at Elara Capital, said.
