Analysts see RBI delivering another 35-50 bps repo hike on Sep 30

With the price index surprising on the upside in August, many analysts have pencilled in a higher inflation print in September as well and accordingly expect the central bank to frontload policy rate hikes, delivering another 35 bps later this month. Confounding the worries on the inflation front, retail inflation accelerated to 7 per cent on-year in August from 6.7 per cent in the previous month -- staying above the upper tolerance limit of the central bank for all the eight months of 2022. The higher than expected August inflation print was driven by food prices primarily in rural areas which came in at 7.2 per cent as against 6.7 per cent in urban areas.

Yet real interest rates continue to be negative as inflation continues to stay above 6 per cent. According to Tanvee Gupta-Jain, the India chief economist at the Swiss brokera
