What happened

Well supportedReported by 19 independent outlets

Anindya Banerjee, an economist at Kotak Securities, stated that elevated crude oil prices pose a direct threat to India’s macroeconomic stability. He warned that if Brent crude remains above USD 100 per barrel, the central bank would be under pressure to resume monetary tightening, potentially involving up to 50 basis points of rate hikes this financial year. Separately, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra noted that the central bank's outlook remains open, requiring greater clarity on the inflation trajectory before any policy recalibration. This assessment comes as the RBI balances global headwinds, including the West Asia conflict, against India's resilient economic growth.
