RBI Reports Rising Inflation Amid Economic Resilience and Global Uncertainties
India's economy shows resilience amid global uncertainties, supported by strong domestic demand, manufacturing, and services growth, according to the RBI's October 2026 Bulletin. Inflation has risen to a two-year high, driven by higher food and fuel prices, geopolitical tensions in West Asia, a depreciating rupee, and weather disruptions like El Niño. Rural inflation exceeds urban levels in some states, with food inflation notably elevated. The RBI and IMF warn that ongoing energy price pressures could sustain inflationary risks, while foreign capital inflows and exports remain robust, helping stabilize the external sector.
