India's current account deficit may widen due to oil price shock. Inflation is expected to rise. The government's action on fuel and gold may be insufficient.

AI Credibility Analysis

The score falls in the 70-89 band as it is based on information from two named sources, BusinessLine and The Times of India, with quotes from a named official, Santosh Mehrotra, but lacks specific data or official statements from multiple authoritative sources.
