The Reserve Bank of India is not considering an off-cycle rate hike despite rising crude oil prices and rupee pressure amid Middle East tensions. The central bank remains focused on balancing inflation and growth under its flexible inflation-targeting framework, indicating no inclination to use interest rates to manage currency volatility.
