Urjit Patel's first Monetary Policy Report notes that while a number of factors have contributed to a relatively benign inflation environment and the MPC envisages inflation to trend towards 5 percent by March 2017, the MPC does note that there are risks of upward adjustments to this projection.

NEW DELHI: Commenting on newly appointed RBI Governor's first significant policy announcement, Bobby Parikh, Chief Mentor & Partner, BMR & Associates LLP stated, "The outcome of the deliberations of the first Monetary Policy Committee meeting, is a reduction in the policy repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25 percent.  With this rate reduction, the Reserve Bank has brought down the repo rate by 175 basis points January 2015.  Along with the reduction in the policy rate, the RBI has maintained an easy liquidity stance."

"In its Monetary Policy Report, the RBI notes that while a number of factors have contributed to a relatively benign inflation environment and the MPC envisages inflation to trend towards 5 percent by March 2017, the MPC does note that there are risks of upward adjustments to this projection.” Parikh said.
