India's Retail Inflation May Exceed 6% in Oct-Nov Before Easing in FY27 Q4
India's retail inflation is projected to briefly exceed 6% in October-November before easing to around 5% in the fourth quarter of FY27, according to an SBI Research report. Inflation is expected to rise to 4.7% in August from 4.45% in July. Improved food supply, monsoon recovery, and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole may help contain inflation. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra has indicated the central bank will await clearer inflation trends before adjusting policy rates.
