In a positive economic development, India’s headline inflation for April 2025 has cooled significantly, reaching 3.16% — the lowest since July 2019. This easing of inflation is driven largely by a sharp decline in food prices, especially vegetables, pulses, and fruits. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) offers encouraging signs for consumers and policymakers alike.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) data for April 2025, released on May 13, 2025, shows a marked decrease in inflation rates across rural, urban, and combined segments.
