Dealing with inflation in India is important to "recreate" high growth, Subir Gokarn, a deputy governor at the Reserve Bank of India, said on Friday.
The country's economic growth slowed to 6.1% in the three months to December, the weakest annual pace in almost three years.
The wholesale price index, India's main gauge of inflation, rose a faster-than-expected 6.95% from a year earlier in February, after a spike in vegetable prices fanned food inflation.
