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, as crude prices rise amid the West Asia crisis. The Indian basket averaged $82 a barrel in July and $90 in August. So borrowers should expect rate calls to depend on how much of this cost is passed on.
