Inflation preview: India’s CPI expected to be around 4.6-4.9% in October

Live Mint  

Thanks to easing food inflation, India's October retail inflation, or consumer price index -based inflation, is expected to come in the range of 4.6-4.9 per cent. According to a Mint poll of 17 economists, India’s retail inflation likely cooled to 4.8 per cent in October from 5 per cent in September. Rahul Bajoria, MD & Head of EM Asia Economics, Barclays, underscored that CPI inflation slowed further to 4.6 per cent year-on-year in October as food inflation continued to ease, but this reprieve is likely to be fleeting, as onion prices are climbing. Sujan Hajra, Chief Economist & Executive Director at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers expects the CPI inflation figure for Oct'23 to moderate to 4.5 per cent, continuing its decelerating trajectory from last month.
