Retail inflation saw a slight increase, primarily driven by a rise in food prices, particularly pulses and vegetables. Data indicated that while core inflation remained stable, fluctuations in food supply continued to influence overall price levels. Economists noted that seasonal factors and supply disruptions contributed to the increase. The development is being closely monitored by policymakers, as sustained inflationary pressure could impact monetary policy decisions. However, experts believe the rise is temporary and may ease with improved supply conditions. The inflation trend remains within manageable limits, providing some comfort to both consumers and policymakers.
