We expect the Reserve Bank of India to remain on hold at tomorrow's meeting given:

  • An expectation that they will downgrade the growth and inflation outlook for 2026 as the narrative for the economy is changing rapidly.
  • The ongoing weakness in the Rupee.
  • A unanimous consensus from economists. 
  • Concerns of the impact of fuel prices on rural consumption.
