RBI warns supply chain shocks and input costs may persist longer than expected Shaktikanta Das

He warned these pressures could worsen if Covid-19 infections rise again in major economies, a trend already seen since March. The message signals continued caution on inflation risks, as uneven recovery and disruptions continue to feed costs.
