growth story is backed by its strong domestic fundamentals, he said, citing lower inflation.Annual retail inflation rate dropped to an
18-month low of 2.19 per cent in December, strengthening views of some economists that central bank could ease monetary policy next

point and lower cash reserve ratio it imposes on banks.The country also needs to watch out for any sudden turbulence in global financial
market, Mr Das said.
