Strong Recovery signifies an acceleration in the pace of economic growth. In this phase, the economy continues to grow at a stronger rate, often influenced by low interest rates.
This Month
Real GDP held firm at 7.83% in Q1 FY27, but price pressures are building: headline CPI rose to 4.82% in August from 4.45% in July, with food inflation firmer at 5.95%, pushing further above the RBI's 4% target. The RBI held the repo rate at 5.25% with a neutral stance, even as bank credit growth stayed strong near 19%. CPI and IIP are the key prints to watch next.
