The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has kept its key interest rate unchanged for the seventh consecutive policy meeting. Despite robust economic growth, inflation remains above the target of 4%. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das emphasized the need to focus on inflation, with food price volatility remaining a concern. The decision was made by a majority vote of the monetary policy committee, with the policy stance of 'withdrawal of accommodation' retained.

India's inflation rate is expected to stay above the Reserve Bank of India's upper tolerance band of 6% until at least October, according to a Reuters poll of economists. Consumer prices in the country rose at their fastest annual rate in 15 months in July, driven by increased prices of essential foods. Economists have upgraded their inflation forecasts, with expectations that inflation will fall within the RBI's 2-6% target range in the next quarter or beyond. The delay in curbing inflation could put pressure on the government ahead of national elections in 2024.
