Cybersecurity coordination to enable early warning alerts and coordinated mitigation of malicious cyber activity across stakeholders.
A proposed multi stakeholder Cyber Coordination Centre will detect malicious activity and issue early warning alerts to enable coordinated mitigation by government, academia and industry. Measures complementing this mechanism include the Information Technology Act legal framework, national incident response advisories and security guidelines, adoption of recognised information security management practices by critical infrastructure operators, regular security audits, cyber security policies for government bodies, targeted training in cyber forensics and network security, and a Crisis Management Plan for countering cyber attacks and terrorism.

Monetary easing to support slowing growth while safeguarding against renewed inflation and strengthening liquidity buffers.
The Reserve Bank announced monetary easing by lowering the repo rate, recalibrating reverse repo and MSF rates, and raising the MSF borrowing limit for banks to bolster liquidity. The move responds to growth running below its post crisis trend and moderating headline and core inflation, but further easing is constrained by upside inflation risks-particularly from administered price revisions and fiscal slippage. The Bank set a three point stance to adjust rates for growth, guard against demand led inflation, and enhance liquidity, and outlined regulatory and developmental measures including financial inclusion, bank customer protections, NBFC exposure limits on gold lending, and timelines for Basel III and securitisation guidelines.
