Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Deputy Governor Michael Patra said inflation in India has reached its peak and its momentum "is actually declining". Referring to inflation rates breaching RBI's 6% target ceiling, Patra said policymakers had room to keep borrowing costs lower for longer to support the economy. Inflation rose to its seven-month high of 6.01% in January this year.
