India's Retail Inflation Rises to 6.09% in October, Breaching RBI's Upper Limit
India's retail inflation rose to 6.09% in October 2026, surpassing the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) upper tolerance limit of 6% for the first time in two years. The increase was driven primarily by a sharp rise in food prices, with food inflation reaching 8.94%, notably due to steep price hikes in onions, garlic, ginger, and lemon. Rural inflation (6.63%) remained higher than urban (5.41%). The sustained inflationary pressure has raised expectations of further RBI interest rate hikes to manage price stability amid ongoing supply disruptions and weather-related challenges.
