Retail inflation in India has recently shown signs of moderation. According to recent data, the retail inflation rate measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) eased to a five-month low of 4.31% in January 2025, down from 5.22% in December. This decline was primarily driven by falling food prices, with food inflation registering at 6.02%, a significant drop from 8.39% in the previous month.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) aims to maintain retail inflation around 4%, with a permissible range of 2% above or below this target. Despite this recent decrease, there remains a focus on food inflation due to its significant impact on the overall CPI. Delhi recorded the lowest inflation rate at 2.02% for the reported month, indicating regional variations in inflation rates across India.
This moderation in inflation could potentially offer the RBI more room to consider easing monetary policies in the future to stimulate economic growth, though decisions would also hinge on other economic indicators and global financial conditions.
For more detailed insights or visual representations of these trends, I can generate images to help illustrate the current state of retail inflation in India.
