India’s consumer price inflation eased for the eighth straight month, falling to 2.1% in June 2025, the lowest level since January 2019, down from 2.82% in May and below market expectations of 2.5%. The sharp decline was largely driven by a 1.06% drop in food prices, marking the first annual decrease since early 2019. Vegetable prices plunged 19%, while pulses fell 11.76%. Prices for spices dropped 3.03%, and meat and fish were down 1.62%. Inflation in the fuel and light category also moderated to 2.55% from 2.78% in the previous month. However, price pressures remained persistent or slightly increased in other sectors: housing inflation rose to 3.24% (from 3.16%), education to 4.37% (from 4.12%), health to 4.43% (from 4.34%), and transport and communication to 3.9% (from 3.85%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0.62% compared to May.
