A rising interest rate is unlikely to stall recovery in India, as indicated by the latest property data, according to Christopher Woods of Jefferies.

"The latest India property data shows a continuing acceleration in activity which confirms again 'greed' & fear’s base case, namely that rising interest rates will not stall the recovery."
