India's current account deficit has come in at a record high 6.7 percent of GDP for the December quarter, worse than anticipated. Analysts had exepected a figure in the range of 6-6.5 per cent.

The country's current account deficit was at $32.63 billion in the 3 months ending December, compared with $20.16 billion in the corresponding period of last year.

The CAD is likely to now exert pressure on the currency, which in turn could affect the RBI's ability to cut rates.
