Summary
Coriander prices have surged significantly after heavy rains disrupted essential vegetable supplies. Ginger and garlic prices also show substantial year-on-year increases, impacting household budgets. Unusually complicated monsoon patterns are affecting crop development and market arrivals across India. Rice and sugar prices are also beginning to add pressure to the food basket. This mixed inflation picture contrasts sharply with the previous year's broad price declines.
