Mr. Siddharth Shankar, Expert Economist quote on Inflation Numbers
“The rise in the CPI was expected after the WPI numbers came out. I think RBI will not be concerned too much about this number as the inflation is food driven and RBI feels food inflation can be handled by the government only. I feel RBI will not reduce rates anytime soon but may look at in-fusing temporary liquidity into the system.

Mr. Siddharth Shankar, Expert Economist quote on Inflation Numbers


“The sharp jump in inflation has come about 2 months earlier than what I had anticipated. Going forward the inflation will continue to rise, we are still to see a hike in the fuel prices, this will further add to inflation. The inflation would go higher because of higher vegetable and milk prices. The inflation numbers released today will result in a pause from the side of the RBI. The situation is very tricky; we have low growth and high inflation. To my mind the only solution is higher productivity and financing to sectors that result in output growth and not merely consumption growth.”

Mr. Shankar's quote on IIP number released on 11th, May'12

I have been talking about the data being dismal and that is the reason that I had forecasted the 4th quarter GDP of India being close to 5.25%. The data released today is no surprise. Contraction is happening and will continue to happen till we set right the basics of agriculture and efficiency.  Manufacturing is done by 4.4% which not only reflects poor off take but also poor sentiment that is expected in the coming months. The capital good is down sharply reflecting a long term negative sentiment of the industry. If we look at the capital goods sector on a sequential basis and compare it last year the picture is much more bleak. On the consumption side too demand seems to have dried up. Thus from both the perspective i.e of the manufacturer and the consumer the numbers do not give any positive signals. April will see some upward numbers but the basic sentiment will continue to remain weak. RBI should not cut the rates in the next meeting as IIP alone is not enough to make them cut rates.
