The message that this clearly sends across is that the central bank prioritizes price stability over growth, with inflation running into double digits. Although a hike was expected, the magnitude of increase probably comes as a surprise.
With the RBI stating that the “Tolerable” level for inflation for it is below 5% in the near term and 3% over the medium term, probably a more realistic figure would be around 7% by the end of this fiscal, keeping in mind that this is a demand-led inflation and inflation usually intensifies before it recedes.
