Here's the case for a rate hike in a nutshell:

a. Rates up 475 bp since march 2010. this means the Governor has to start SLR cuts now, which RBI has indicated as possible this time. It does not mean rate cuts or that thee rate hike cycle has topped off because 

b. non food inflation at 13% is not in control and the new inflation target of 7% may already be too old as rindia's crude basket for one remains one of the most expensive in the world at $110 and even in September $106( indiainfoline.com, UBS for the crude basket data)

c. food inflation control has meant plateauing and not fall in inflation

We are here and would be posting the bank rate update
