'Our target is certainly headline inflation. The FIT is due for a review. Every five years we do it. There is a discussion paper, which we are preparing. We will open to public consultation. The final view has to be taken by the government. We will give our views to the government as to how we should move ahead in this regard,' Malhotra said.
The inflation target is valid until March 2026 and its review comes amid talk of whether monetary policy should target non-food inflation.
Malhotra said that both headline CPI as well as core inflation are important. 'There is higher volatility in food prices. They can be transient. And sometimes, we have to look through if we feel that some of the inflation is because of transient reasons,' he said.

Core inflation excludes volatile components of food & fuel.

PhDs, elite lab experience, and AI brilliance: Mark Zuckerberg's secret recruitment list for superintelligence lab revealed
Mark Zuckerberg , CEO of Meta, is on an aggressive hunt for the brightest minds in artificial intelligence, personally spearheading recruitment for his new superintelligence lab. At the heart of this effort is a carefully curated document known as 'The List'—a roster of top-tier AI talent targeted for Meta's ambitious projects. According to The Wall Street Journal , most names on The List hold PhDs from elite institutions like UC Berkeley and Carnegie Mellon, with stints at leading AI hubs such as OpenAI in San Francisco and Google DeepMind in London. Typically in their 20s or 30s, these researchers share a rarefied skill set—deep expertise in calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory—paired with the ability to tackle highly complex, computation-heavy problems.

Prospects are contacted through email, text, or WhatsApp, with priority given to those who have made significant contributions to AI breakthroughs. One recent Meta hire, passionate about algorithm design, perfectly fits this profile. The AI research world is close-knit, with scientists networking in private Slack and Discord groups to exchange offers and sometimes leverage competing bids to increase their value. Sources confirm Meta has approached dozens of OpenAI researchers , heating up Silicon Valley's AI talent war. At the helm of Zuckerberg's superintelligence initiative is 28-year-old Alexandr Wang—founder of Scale AI and son of Chinese immigrant physicists—whose $14 billion deal with Meta marks one of the costliest hires in history. In response to Meta's recruitment drive, OpenAI has revamped its pay structure, with its CTO even issuing an open letter urging staff to resist Zuckerberg's offers. At one point, the company reportedly paused operations for almost a week. Live Events Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati also revealed that Zuckerberg offered engineers in her team multi-million-dollar packages—yet, remarkably, not a single one has accepted.
