13-Aug-2026

Food inflation, as measured by the recently revised consumer food price index, continued to move upwards to touch 5.52% in July, primarily because ginger, garlic, onion, chicken, eggs and edible oils became costlier. Sequentially, the all-India Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) rose by 2.09% last month from the June level. Food inflation was 5.32% in June 2026, and it was in the negative territory for seven months through December 2025.
