RBI has increased the repo rate by 1.9 percent so far in the current financial year. The meeting of the monetary policy committee of the central bank will be held from December 5-7.
CII said a large number of companies have reported a decline in income and profits in the second quarter of the current financial year. In such a situation, there is a need to reduce the pace of monetary tightening.
