Inconsistent decline in food prices resulted in this moderation. Economists say that since inflation has remained below the 4% target for three months in a row (February, March, and April), CPI must be kept permanently anchored to the 4% target for a 12-month horizon. Under the flexible inflation targeting (FIT) policy, the RBI is required to maintain the CPI at 4% with a +\/-2% band. As per RBI&#8217;s annual report 2024-25, &#8220;benign inflation scenario and moderate growth warrant monetary policy to be growth oriented, but keep watch on the rapidly evolving global macroeconomic situation with caution.&#8221;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RBI_MPC_Decision_Key_Highlights\"><\/span><strong>RBI MPC Decision: Key Highlights<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>CPI inflation for FY25- 26 is projected at 3.7%, revised downward from 4.0% in the MPC meeting in April.
