Deutsche Bank is expecting one more rate hike this year followed by two more hikes in April and June.
"The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) made it clear that it is not going to use interest rate defense just for forex management," said Kaushik Das, chief economist at Deutsche Bank.

He further added, "We expect policy rates to go up by 7.25 percent by mid-2019."
