RBI The decline in the Indian stock market has increased since the news of the release of the statement by Governor Shaktikanta Das at 2 pm. At 1 pm, the BSE Sensex is trading at 56,170.53 points, down 800 points. At the same time, NSE Nifty is trading 234.95 points down at 16,834.15 points. In fact, there is a fear in the market that RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das may announce a hike in interest rates to control the rising inflation. Due to this all the loans will be expensive. Along with this, the RBI governor can take other steps to reduce liquidity in the market. This will have an adverse effect on the stock market. This has increased the fall in the market. The biggest fall is seen in the shares of banking and IT companies.

Retail inflation above RBI target

This is more than the RBI limit of 6 per cent.

In such a situation, it is believed that RBI can announce a hike in interest rates.
