India’s annual retail inflation rate eased to 1.55 per cent in July 2025, according to official data released on Tuesday. This marks a slowdown compared to previous months, reflecting moderating price pressures in the economy.
The Decline in Retail Inflation
The decline in inflation is attributed to lower food prices and stable fuel costs. Economists see this trend as positive for consumer purchasing power, although some caution that supply chain issues and global economic factors could still impact future inflation rates.
The Reserve Bank of India monitors inflation closely as it guides monetary policy, aiming to maintain price stability while supporting growth.
