Retail inflation eases to 6-yr low of 2.1% in June
Hindustan Times West UP
|July 15, 2025
The decline came on account of subdued prices of food items, including vegetables
Retail inflation declined to over six-year low of 2.1% in June, nearing the RBI's comfort zone, on account of subdued prices of food items, including vegetables, driven by widespread monsoon.
The Consumer Price Index-based inflation was 2.82% in May and 5.08% in June 2024. Inflation is on a decline since November 2024.
Year-on-year inflation rate based on CPI for the month of June 2025 over June 2024 is 2.1%, the National Statistics Office (NSO) said in a statement.
“There is a decline of 72 basis points in headline inflation of June 2025 in comparison to May 2025. It is the lowest year-on-year inflation after January 2019,” it said.
The previous low of 1.97% was recorded in January 2019.
