The central bank has invited comments from the public and other stakeholders by September 18, 2025, for the review, which is mandated by law.

The flexible inflation targeting framework currently mandates the RBI-led Monetary Policy Committee to keep consumer prices-based inflation under check at 4% with a 2% margin either way.
