Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra, and Deputy Governors Poonam Gupta, T Rabi Sankar, Swaminathan J, and S C Murmu on Friday addressed issues during the post-policy media interaction. Is there more room for the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to support growth? Malhotra: On whether there is additional policy space, we are at “neutral” now. As I said in my statement, inflation is very benign. Excluding food, which has been volatile, the core inflation rate has stayed at 3-3.5 per cent over the last two years. If you exclude gold and silver, our expectation is that inflation will remain very benign.
