Inflation leaps; rate cuts a remote possibility

RBI will now take into account the inflation number before its Monetary Policy Review meeting on March 15, 2012 to decide on repo rate cuts.
Inflation is a major variable for the RBI in deciding on repo rate cuts and with the inflation rate coming higher, it is unlikely that the RBI will cut rates on Thursday. Earlier when inflation in the economy was high, the RBI hiked rates 13 times between March 2010 and October 2011.
The RBI has already cut the CRR on March 9, ahead of the Monetary Policy Review meeting. It's interesting to see what India's Central Bank would do tomorrow.
