8: Will RBI’s policy succeed in stimulating demand?

India’s GDP growth has fallen to 6-year low in September quarter and all eyes are on Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy for a rate cut. Considering food inflation is on upswing, markets fear this could be the last of the cuts from the RBI. However, a big challenge for RBI is to unclog the credit flow and resolve the NBFC crisis. Markets will watch for commentary on credit flow, NBFC crisis and forecasts of GDP and inflation on Thursday when the committee puts out its vote on policy rates and stance.
