They keep the interest rate, which is like the cost of borrowing money, steady.

The author points out that food prices have actually gone down, and other important prices aren't rising much.

They also mention that tax cuts are helping people spend more, like getting extra pocket money.

The economy might be growing slower than it could, like a child not running as fast as they can.

The author believes the RBI should lower the cost of borrowing money to help the economy grow faster, and that their current careful approach might be causing them to miss opportunities.
