Reserve Bank of India's Governor, Shaktikanta Das, has stated that their job is only halfway done in regards to bringing inflation within the target band. During the MPC meeting, the Governor kept the short-term lending rate unchanged due to India's strengthening macroeconomic fundamentals, improving growth prospects, eased inflation, and improved external sector outlook. Despite this progress, Das believes that the fight against inflation is not over and the RBI must undertake a forward-looking assessment of evolving inflation-growth outlook and stand ready to act if the situation requires.
