Shares of rate sensitive sectors such as automobiles and realty are trading higher on the bourses ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) quarterly policy review meeting on Tuesday.
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), realty and auto sector index are up by nearly 1%, compared to marginal 0.03% rise in benchmark Sensex at 1010 hours.
DLF, Unitech, Indiabulls Real Estate and Sobha Developers from realty and Maruti Suzuki India,Hero MotoCorp, Tata Motors and Mahindra and Mahindra from auto are up 1-3%.

In ICRA’s view, the likelihood of a cut in the cash reserve ratio (CRR) in the Third Quarter Review of Monetary Policy is low.
