To curb inflation, the RBI typically tightens monetary policy. This can involve increasing the policy repo rate (the rate at which banks borrow from RBI) or the reverse repo rate (the rate at which banks lend to RBI), which makes borrowing more expensive and reduces the money supply, thereby cooling down demand and inflationary pressures.

The RBI's mandate includes maintaining price stability while keeping in mind the objective of growth. A persistent rise in CPI (inflation) can erode purchasing power, distort investment decisions, and destabilize the economy, thus impacting both price stability and potentially hindering sustainable economic growth.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. A rising CPI signifies inflation, meaning that the general price level is increasing, and the purchasing power of money is decreasing.
