MUMBAI - Kaustubh Gupta, chief investment officer–fixed income, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Ltd., said the following on the Reserve Bank of India's third bi-monthly monetary policy statement for 2026-27 (Apr-Mar) detailed Wednesday:
The Monetary Policy Committee's policy decision of keeping the policy rate unchanged with a neutral stance is on the expected lines. Overall, the narrative reads well-balanced and hints towards a data-dependent approach rather than guiding towards any certain direction at this juncture. Real GDP growth for FY27 has been raised to 6.7% (vs 6.6%) while lowering the CPI to 4.7% (vs 5.1%) driven by the lower estimates for Apr-Sept 2026-27 (Apr-Mar). This reflects the governor's statement that inflation pressure so far is limited to fuel and not broad-based while second half of FY27 is seeing pressures from higher food inflation. End
