    According to RBI Governor
    Shaktikanta Das, rather than being a result of the Indian economy's fragility,
    the rupee's drop was mainly caused by the dollar's rise, a global trend.



    But he warned that the Indian
    economy has been grappling with high inflation, and price pressures are
    expected to remain above 6 per cent this year.



    The
    MPC has decided to focus on withdrawal of accommodative policy stance to check
    inflation, said the Governor.
