SBI Research urged the Reserve Bank of India to implement a 50‑basis‑point rate hike promptly, even before the December Monetary Policy Committee meeting, citing global market volatility, currency stress and rising borrowing costs that threaten financial stability. The Ecowrap report also recommended temporarily widening the liquidity‑adjustment‑facility corridor beyond its current 50‑basis‑point range, shortening exporters’ receipt period from 15 months to six, and adjusting tax and capital‑gain rules to draw long‑term domestic and foreign capital. It argued that monetary policy must be coordinated with fiscal measures to curb market dislocation. The call comes as emerging markets face higher bond yields, commodity‑supply risks and growing AI‑related borrowing, while India’s growth could stay above 7.5 percent. Policymakers are urged to act before conditions deteriorate.
