What happened
Domestic equity markets in India opened under pressure on Wednesday, with the Nifty 50 index falling 0.38 percent and the BSE Sensex falling 0.14 percent. Market expert Ajay Bagga noted that the Reserve Bank of India is facing a growth-inflation trade-off against a backdrop of significant macroeconomic shifts. CPI inflation reached 4.82 percent in August, exceeding the 4 percent target for three consecutive months, while WPI inflation reached 9.92 percent.

Why it matters
The Reserve Bank of India has kept its repo rate unchanged for four consecutive policy reviews, despite previous cuts. The central bank is now considering a potential 25 basis point rate hike, which would be the first since February 2023, due to persistent inflation pressures. This situation puts pressure on the central bank's operational mandate.
