Steep hike in diesel price pinches common man across India

New Delhi/ Mumbai, Feb 01 (ANI): The sudden hike in the diesel price by Indian Oil Corporation came as a serious blow to the pockets of the common man who is already reeling under the spiraling inflation in the country. Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC), the country's biggest refiner, said that it would raise retail prices for diesel by one per cent, or 0.57 rupees, from Saturday in line with a plan to gradually align them with international prices. Considering the hike as burden, the residents of Mumbai expressed their ire over ruling Congress government's decision. Feb 1, 2014

Indian banks to wait before hiking loan rates post RBIs tightening

Mumbai, Jan 29 (ANI): Top Indian bankers said that they would wait to observe inflation and market trends further, before increasing the interest rates of loans to citizens for balancing funds due to the sudden hike in repo rate by the RBI. Reserve Bank of India (RBI), surprisingly raised interest rates for lending money to commercial banks on Tuesday to dampen inflation, saying it was now better prepared to deal with the risk of major capital outflows roiling emerging economies. The RBI, however, said that if retail inflation eases as projected, it does not foresee further near-term monetary policy tightening. The hike in repo rate could have a direct impact on the lending rates of funds borrowed by the citizens from the commercial banks. Meanwhile, chief of Indian Banks’ Association, K.R. Kamath, said that banks would have to take a final call on the interest rates only after considering the burden on customers due to inflation. Jan 29, 2014
