Shaktikanta Das, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), had stated on January 13 that, “It is too early to revisit the inflation target of 4 percent with 2 percent deviation on either side, in the current situation. I don’t think there is any need for any change. I would not think the target needs to be revisited”. Das also said, “It is too early to shift the goalpost. The 4 percent target has a certain meaning.
