Monetary Policy in India

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy

Monetary policy revolves around regulating the money supply and interest rates to achieve price stability and sustainable growth. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) uses tools like the repo rate, reverse repo rate, CRR, and open market operations to manage liquidity and inflation. Notably, an inflation-targeting framework was introduced to ensure accountability, with a Monetary Policy Committee deciding rate changes. From an exam viewpoint, remember how policy stances (accommodative, neutral, or hawkish) affect credit availability and consumer spending, and track how inflation targets guide RBI decisions in balancing growth with price stability.
