What happened
Mukesh Jindal, Senior Partner at Alpha Capital, agreed with the Reserve Bank of India's full-year growth direction. He stated that while 7 percent growth is the good case if oil cools, a base case of 6.5 to 6.8 percent is also possible. Jindal also commented on bank valuations, noting that large private banks are near 1.9 times forward book, citing HDFC Bank as an example.

Why it matters
Jindal suggested that domestic money is large enough to prevent a collapse in the Indian equity market. He also pointed out that since the Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate to 5.5 percent, the banking sector is not expected to see margin expansion in the coming quarters due to slipping margins and funding cost issues.
