The Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy committee met on Thursday to discuss the bank's report to the government for having failed to meet its inflation targets for three straight quarters for the first time since it was set up in 2016.
"A separate meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) was held on November 3, 2022 to discuss and draft the report to be sent to the Government by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)," the RBI said in its short release following the meeting.
All six members of the MPC attended the meeting, the release added.

"It's a report sent under a law, I don't have the privilege, the authority or the luxury to release a letter like this," Das said.
The committee is mandated to keep inflation within 2 percentage points on either side of its 4 per cent target and a miss for three quarters requires it to provide an explanation to the government along with the recourse it plans to adopt.
Retail inflation has remained above 6 per cent since January and accelerated in September to a five-month high of 7.41 per cent year-on-year as food prices surged.
