Namaskar. Greetings on the last day of Navaratri, and my best wishes for a Happy Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti tomorrow. 2. Since the August policy meeting, significant developments on the domestic front amidst a fast-changing global economic landscape have altered the narrative on growth-inflation dynamics in India. Buoyed by a good monsoon, the Indian economy continues to exhibit strength by registering a higher growth in Q1:2025-26. At the same time, there has been a considerable moderation in headline inflation. The rationalisation of the goods and services tax (GST) rates is likely to have a sobering impact on inflation while stimulating consumption and growth. Tariffs on the other hand will moderate exports.
