Kerala had the highest inflation rate in June 2025. Prices of food, transport and services went up sharply. Seasonal price hikes and problems in the supply chain made life more expensive for people in the state.
This small island UT saw high inflation mainly because of its remote location. Transporting goods like food and fuel is costly, making everyday items more expensive for the local population.
With tourism bouncing back, demand for goods and services in Goa is growing. However, the supply is not keeping up, which is pushing prices higher, especially in food and transport.
In Punjab, changing farm prices and rising energy costs are making basic goods more costly. Even though the state produces a lot of food, higher input costs are passed on to the public.
In this hilly region, transport and weather challenges increase the cost of bringing in goods. This results in higher prices for food and daily essentials, especially in rural and remote areas.
