Easing Food Prices Drive Retail Deflation, Offering RBI Additional Policy Flexibility
Retail inflation excluding gold turned negative as food price moderation continued across key agricultural commodities. Economists noted that persistent deflation in food categories provides the Reserve Bank of India additional scope to maintain an accommodative stance without risking price instability. The broader inflation profile reflects improved supply conditions, favourable harvest cycles, and easing logistics bottlenecks.
Analysts highlight that sustained deflation could support real household purchasing power, although vigilance is needed given global commodity price volatility and uncertain climate conditions.
