MPC will reassess growth-inflation dynamics at next meeting: RBI Governor
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra says the Monetary Policy Committee will reassess growth and inflation at its next meeting on October 5-7, 2026. Crude oil for the Indian basket rose from about $82 in July to $90 in August due to the West Asia crisis. Much of that shock is cushioned, but pass-through will decide the price impact. The RBI will keep watching whether inflation persists and spreads.
