"Considering the benign inflation outlook—headline as well as core—real interest rates need to be lower. Therefore, I vote for a 25-bps rate cut," said Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Sanjay Malhotra, who also heads the rate-setting panel, according to the minutes of the meeting released on Friday.
