low inflation impact

RETAILS INFLATION & CURRENT DYNAMICS

Retail inflation in India fell to a 99-month low of 1.54% in September 2025, mainly due to falling food and fuel prices. This marks the lowest level since 2017 and is below the RBI’s 2–6% comfort range. While consumers benefit from lower prices and improved purchasing power, persistently low inflation may signal weak demand and affect farmers’ income.
