Good morning. I welcome you all to the first policy of 2026. We are only in the second month of the new year and have already witnessed momentous actions on the geopolitical and trade-tariff fronts. 2. Amidst heightened geo-political tensions and elevated uncertainty, the Indian economy is in a good spot with strong growth and low inflation. Inflation remains below the tolerance band and its outlook continues to be benign. High frequency indicators suggest continuation of the strong growth momentum in Q3:2025-26 and beyond. With the signing of a landmark trade deal with the European Union and the US trade agreement in sight, growth momentum is likely to be sustained for a longer period.
