Summer inflation in India: from mangoes to umbrellas, here's how much is it impacting you

From milk, curd to cold beverages, the prices of all staple summer foods items are soaring high.

The prices of mangoes–the king of fruits, is also going up. According to a report by mint, mangoes have become consistently dearer over the years, with prices rising by an average of 10.4% annually since 2015.

Mango is one of the 299 items that determine India’s consumer price index (CPI) and holds significance because it’s a summer staple.

The Mint report further adds that data of select items for the April-June period since 2015 shows average inflation of over 4% for mangoes, muskmelon, milk, curd, and cold beverages among food items.

The same is true for some items linked to vacations and holidays: steamer and boat fares, porter charges, recreation and amusement, and umbrellas.
