He said that he would like to clear the fact that whatever is in the hands of the RBI Governor, Shaktikanta Das, be it monetary policy, liquidity management and others are doing fine. There is also an external factor which is not in his control and that is global inflation.

Singhvi also highlighted the fact that there are certain issues on the supply side that can be addressed. Again, there are certain regional factors related to inflation that are specific to India. In these cases, if the central government and RBI work together then these issues can be sorted.

Nevertheless, there are certain global factors about which little can be done. For instance, the price of crude oil is not in the hands of the country. Also, there is a global energy crisis about which little can be done in India except for increasing the supply.

Singhvi noted that the most important element in the commentary of the RBI governor will be how much he is concerned about the inflation and how much he is confident about getting the inflation under control. This will mark the progress of the market.

The balance between inflation and growth and RBI's mandate on inflation can be a little cause of concern. However, Singhvi believes that there will be no significant change in this meeting. Again, if the language of the RBI governor sounds cautions regarding the inflation, then it can be a cause of worry for the market.
