RBI should go for at least 100 bps rate cuts

.... If you want to buck up the sentiments of investment in the country, one indicator the RBI should focus on is the base rate, which has been contained for a while and should be brought back to an investible rate. I believe that if credit is available at around 10%, many projects may become viable and consumption can catch on. Therefore, RBI cannot utilise the monetary policy alone as inflation control as it will not control the consumption. I certainly recommend that RBI should intervene and reduce the interest rates by at least 100 basis points across one or two instances. Doing so will be a positive indicator for the markets and encourage investment.....
