Indian economy has done exceptionally well despite multiple shocks, says RBI Deputy Governor
RBI is in focus in a monetary policy development.
24 Sept 2026 · Business Standard Mkts
Poonam Gupta, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India has stated that India has perhaps been among the most challenged emerging market economies over past year and a half. Whereas most other countries were subject to only a subset of these shocks, India has been subjected to each one of these shocks -simultaneously and cumulatively.
The analysis
Rate decisions ripple straight into banks, NBFCs and every rate-sensitive sector — from real estate to autos.
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Why it matters
- With RBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
