Interest rates unlikely to go up (immediately)

"Instead of focusing on policy rate change, take steps to arrest rising consumer prices"

RBI's policy rate change:

Industry and individual borrowers can rest assured that any tweak in the RBI's policy rate on Tuesday may not have immediate bearing on their pockets, economists and policymakers said.

Enough funds to lend:

"There is enough liquidity in the system while deposit rates in banks currently are quite high at 20% in comparison to the credit rate of 14%," said D H Pai Panandiker, head of think tank RPG Foundation. This alone will ensure surplus funds to lend and would also keep a check on the interest rates, he added.
