💨 Abstract

India's consumer price inflation is expected to decrease to 5.3% in December, according to a Reuters poll, due to moderating food price rises. This could lead to an interest rate cut by the central bank in February, supporting the slowing economy. Inflation is projected to remain elevated until the second half of 2026 and will be mainly driven by vegetable prices and other food sub-segments.
