TAKE A LOOK-India cbank hikes rates, reserve ratio by 25 bps

India's central bank on Tuesday raised key interest rates
by 25 basis points, as expected, tightening policy for the
second month in a row as it battles inflation near double
digits.

The Reserve Bank of India also raised its cash reserve
ratio (CRR) requirement for banks by 25 basis points, as
expected, to drain further liquidity from the financial system.

The repo rate now stands at 5.25 percent while the reverse
repo rises to 3.75 percent. The repo and reverse repo rate
hikes take effect immediately while the CRR increase to 6
percent, will be effective April 24.
