INDIA, JUL 14 – Wholesale inflation fell to -0.13% due to lower prices in food, fuel, and metals, marking a sharp decline from 3.43% last year, Ministry of Commerce and Industry data showed.
- India's Wholesale Price Index inflation dropped to-0.13% in June 2025, reflecting a negative inflation rate for the first time this year.
- This decline followed a period of easing inflation since October 2024 when retail inflation breached the RBI's 6% upper limit but later stabilized within 2-6%.
- The negative inflation mainly resulted from deflation in food articles by 3.75%, vegetables by 22.65%, and fuel and power prices falling by around 2.65% in June.
- Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra stated that the RBI has lowered its forecast for inflation in the 2025-26 period from 4% to 3.7%, while last month the central bank reduced its key interest rate by 0.50% to 5.50% to stimulate economic growth.
- These patterns indicate that headline inflation is expected to remain consistently close to the target range, allowing the RBI to adopt a more accommodative monetary policy aimed at enhancing liquidity and credit availability.
