Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) decided in its meeting held last month to keep the policy rate unchanged for the tenth consecutive time. In April last year, the MPC stopped its rate-hike cycle by retaining the key lending rate at 6.5 per cent. The RBI had hiked rates six times in a row before it decided to pause in April last year. The impact of those rate hikes was not believed to have percolated to the ground by then. As inflation seemed to be coming under control in recent months, expectations about a rate cut grew. Though the RBI changed the stance to 'neutral' from the earlier 'withdrawal of accommodation' unanimously, it retained the key rate at 6.5%. in its last meeting in October due to high inflation. The inflation further touched a 14-month high at 6.2% for October, led by a spike in vegetable prices. It is above the RBI's mandate of 4% with a tolerance band of 2 percentage points on either side. Now, many expect the RBI to cut rates in February next year, instead of earlier expectations of a rate cut in December.

NoBroker, the online real estate platform, faced significant obstacles in its early days, including physical threats from traditional brokers angered by the company's disruptive business model, CEO Amit Kumar Agarwal revealed at the Technovate for India program in Bengaluru. In 2015, a group of brokers attacked NoBroker's office, assaulting employees and attempting to force their way into the building.

ICRA. This moderation is attributed to challenges such as heavy monsoon rains and weaker corporate margins, which offset the positive effects of increased government capital expenditure and a strong kharif sowing season. Gross Value Added (GVA) is also expected to see a marginal dip, with growth estimated at 6.6% in Q2 FY2025, compared with 6.8% in Q1 FY2025. “Q2 FY2025 saw tailwinds in terms of a pick-up in capex after the Parliamentary Elections as well as healthy expansion in sowing of major kharif crops. However, sectors faced headwinds due to heavy rainfall and weak margins. We project a slight dip in India’s GVA and GDP growth in Q2 FY2025 to 6.6% and 6.5%, respectively,” Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist at ICRA, write in a note. Government capital expenditure showed a promising recovery in Q2 FY2025, rising by 10.3% YoY to ₹2.3 trillion, reversing the sharp 35% contraction witnessed in Q1 FY2025. This rebound was led by key infrastructure-focused ministries such as the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and the Ministry of Railways, which posted growth rates of 41.7% and 8.0%, respectively. However, the pace of state government spending remained muted, with the combined capital outlay and net lending of 22 states increasing by only 2.1% YoY in the quarter.
