Reserve Bank of India deputy governor Rabi Sankar has stressed that the government plans to proceed with CBDC testing in the smoothest way possible. He said: “We want the process to happen, but we want the process to happen gradually and slowly. We are in no hurry to make something happen so quickly.” India’s CBDC project is currently active across five cities, with nine more cities potentially gradually joining the pilot soon.
