RBI Unlikely to Reintroduce Fixed-Rate Lending to Banks

The RBI is also changing how it handles money, possibly using 7-day operations.
The RBI believes it has controlled inflation but is still working to keep prices stable.
The RBI will make decisions about interest rates based on how it thinks the economy will do in the future.
RBI is unlikely to reintroduce daily fixed-rate lending.
Banks requested fixed-rate lending to manage liquidity needs.
RBI is reviewing its liquidity management framework, potentially shifting to 7-day operations.
RBI has won the battle against inflation, but price stability remains the central goal.
Further monetary policy will depend on the outlook for growth and inflation.
