The Reserve Bank of India’s decision to hike the repo rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday has boosted investors' sentiments leading the key Indian equity indices surge during trading on Thursday. The decision of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is consistent with the neutral stance of monetary policy in consonance with the objective of achieving the medium-term target for consumer price index (CPI) inflation of 4% within a band of +/- 2%," RBI said. This is definitely good news for the bulls in the Indian stock markets.

India Inc welcomed the "neutral" stance taken by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on a future rate hike trajectory, along with its reform measures for the realty, bond and banking sectors. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
