RBI should keep all rate hike options open: SBI economist

SBI's Group Chief Economic Advisor Soumya Kanti Ghosh urged RBI to keep all rate hike options open, including hikes above 25 bps, to defend the rupee against a strengthening US dollar. He warned of a 'triple threat' from rising bond yields, high energy costs, and AI disruption, calling for a broader policy package beyond FX intervention.
