RBI's surprise decision to cut its policy rate does not have a significant credit impact in the short term, said Fitch Ratings in a statement .
Achieving a credible, low inflation environment is a key factor for India, according to Fitch.
It said falling commodity, food prices, gradual decline in long-term inflation expectations, have created a more benign inflationary environment recently. The extent to which the rate cut would have a long-term positive effect on bank asset quality remained uncertain, Fitch added.
India's high public debt burden and deficit have been a long-standing key weakness for its sovereign credit profile, it said.
