MUMBAI: Minutes of the monetary policy committee meeting released by RBI on Wednesday, a fortnight after the conclusion of the meetings, showed that members were more hawkish than the Aug policy suggested, with several flagging the possibility of a rate hike or recalibration if inflation risks materialise. RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra said higher headline and core inflation could warrant a recalibration of the policy rate.

RBI's MPC minutes signal potential interest rate hikes due to rising inflation, indicating no scope for further easing.

Minutes of the Reserve Bank’s August meeting released on Wednesday showed a growing inclination toward tighter policy as members become increasingly wary of inflation risks.
