“The rise in the IIP numbers is nothing to be surprised, the numbers
have been very volatile and the lower base is resulting in these numbers being
on the higher side. The inflation is high and it would be difficult for RBI to cut
the interest rates. Going forward too I do not expect any significant
improvement if we nullify the low base impact.”
