The key lies in reducing inflationary expectations

....In their paper, “Inflation threshold in India: An empirical investigation”, published by RBI, authors Deepak MohantyA.B. ChakrabortyAbhiman Das and Joice John concluded: “For WPI-inflation up to 5.5%, there is positive impact on growth, which is statistically significant. The relationship reverses when WPI inflation is beyond 5.5% and inflation effect on growth turns negative. This study provides evidence of a shift in regime indicating possible adverse impact of inflation on growth beyond 5.5% WPI inflation.”..........
