Bank of Baroda Report Urges Monitoring of Fuel Price Pass-Through Amid Weather Risks to Inflation

A Bank of Baroda report highlights the need to closely monitor the pass-through of rising fuel prices to consumers, as weather-related risks like heatwaves and the expected El Nino could increase inflation pressures in fiscal year 2027. India's Consumer Price Index inflation in April remained below the Reserve Bank of India's 4% target, though food inflation, driven by vegetables, pulses, edible oils, and protein items, showed upward trends. Core inflation remains contained, aided by lower gold prices, but inflation in hospitality services may rise.
