India’s retail inflation increased to 1.33 % year on year in December, up from 0.71 % in November, mainly due to higher food prices. Despite the rise, inflation remains well below the Reserve Bank of India’s target range. Economists estimate real GDP growth at around 7.4 % for FY26. The data supports a calibrated monetary policy stance, allowing room for rate cuts while limiting aggressive easing measures.
