1.India’s industrial production registered ………………. (1) growth for the second straight month, growing at 7.1% in December, while retail inflation slowed to 5.07% in January, signalling that the Indian economy may be stabilizing. The pickup in factory output was driven by a 8.4% growth in the manufacturing sector.

In November, the index of industrial production (IIP) grew 8.8% and consumer price index-based (CPI-based) retail inflation quickened by 5.21% in December. Though a low base last year is partially responsible for the pickup, higher growth in production of cement, diesel and two-wheelers signal a revival in economic demand. Gross value-added growth is likely to improve to around 6.8% in the third quarter from 6.1% in the preceding September quarter, led by manufacturing, construction and services, Aditi Nayar, principal economist at Icra Ltd, said in a statement.

While food inflation softened in January, higher oil (7.7%) and rent allowance (8.3%) limited a larger correction in price pressures. Radhika Rao, India economist at DBS Bank, said the inflation data is along the lines of Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) revised ……………………(8) , with CPI expected to remain elevated for the next six months due to base effects. “The central bank has already indicated that it will look through near-term prints and today’s numbers don’t ………………………..(9) any change in their neutral policy stance,” she added.RBI last week kept interest rates unchanged and warned that inflation risks were ……………….(10) upwards. It raised its March quarter CPI inflation forecast to 5.1% and projected an inflation range of 5.1%-5.6% in the first half of the next fiscal year.

It premises this on a host of factors including revival in investment demand and strengthening exports.
