Wholesale and retail inflation ease sharply, improving policy room for RBI
India’s wholesale price inflation fell to 1.21 percent in October while retail inflation eased to a record low of 0.25 percent, marking a significant improvement relative to earlier months. Analysts attributed the decline to favourable food price trends, a correction in key commodities, and stable energy costs. The disinflationary move strengthens the Reserve Bank of India’s policy flexibility ahead of upcoming reviews.
Economists highlighted that easing price pressures may support consumption sentiment and reinforce growth indicators, though global risks remain a variable to watch.
