India’s inflation will likely move toward the 4% target on a “durable basis” in the coming fiscal year, the central bank’s Deputy Governor Michael Patra said.

CPI is expected to average 4.5% in the current financial year ending March 2025, “before aligning with the target on a durable basis in 2025-26,” Patra said in a speech about inflation targeting and posted on the Reserve Bank of India’s website on Tuesday.
