The flexible inflation targeting (FIT) framework has completed 8 years since its introduction in 2016. This is a major structural reform of 21st century in India. It stands out for its committee approach to decision making; transparency of policy making process and communication; accountability hinging upon quantitatively defined inflation target; and operational independence. Over the years, the framework has matured across various interest rate cycles and monetary policy stances.

Monetary Policy Decisions After assessing the current and evolving macroeconomic situation, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at its meeting today (October 9, 2024) decided to: Keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 6.50 per cent. Consequently, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate remains unchanged at 6.25 per cent and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 6.75 per cent. The MPC also decided to change the monetary policy stance to ‘neutral’ and to remain unambiguously focused on a durable alignment of inflation with the target, while supporting growth. These decisions are in consonance with the objective of achieving the medium-term target for consumer price index (CPI) inflation of 4 per cent within a band of +/- 2 per cent, while supporting growth.
