India's retail Inflation hits four-month low at 4.87% in October

The last time inflation figures were as low as the current rate was back in June when it touched 4.87%.

Retail inflation in India has reached a four-month low, standing at 4.87% in October. The decline is attributed primarily to the stabilization of prices in the food category, according to recent data released by the government.
This marks a notable decrease from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) based retail inflation recorded in September, which stood at 5.02%, showcasing a consistent downward trend. The last time inflation figures were as low as the current rate was back in June when it touched 4.87%.
Looking ahead, the Reserve Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), during its October meeting, anticipated a further decline in CPI inflation for the fiscal year 2023-24. The projection stands at 5.4%, demonstrating a substantial moderation from the 6.7% recorded in the previous fiscal year, 2022-23.
In a bid to maintain economic stability, the government has entrusted the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) with the responsibility of ensuring that the CPI inflation remains at 4%, allowing for a marginal fluctuation of 2% on either side. This aligns with the central bank's practice of primarily considering retail inflation data when formulating its bi-monthly monetary policy.
This recent development is expected to have positive implications for the overall economic landscape, providing relief to consumers and policymakers alike.
