Rajeev Malik, CLSA said, "We expect CPI inflation to ease around 7.5 percent YoY in FY15 from near-10 percent. However, core inflation will be sticky given the structural drivers."

"We expect an extended pause rather than interpreting the RBI's guidance that policy rates have peaked. Expectations of policy rate cuts this year are unrealistic, in our view," he added.
