Summary
Retail inflation in India is projected to increase in upcoming months. Food prices are the primary driver, though inflation should stay below six percent. Analysts anticipate the Reserve Bank of India will maintain its current policy stance. Supply-side factors like tomato and onion costs are influencing current price increases. Geopolitical easing could lead to inflation undershooting official projections.
