India’s October retail inflation likely eased to 4.6% on stable food prices
Economists project India’s October 2025 retail inflation at 4.6%, down from 5% in September, supported by softer food prices and lower fuel costs. Government data due next week is expected to confirm inflation remaining within the RBI’s tolerance band for the third consecutive month. Analysts said steady inflation strengthens the case for maintaining the current policy rate at 6.5% in the December review. Core inflation is also moderating, with housing and transport categories showing stability amid easing supply pressures.
