India’s consumer price inflation accelerated to 2.07% in August 2025, up from an upwardly revised 1.61% in July, broadly matching market expectations. This marked the first monthly increase in inflation in ten months, though it remained close to the Reserve Bank of India’s lower tolerance threshold of 2% under its inflation-targeting framework. Food prices, which make up nearly half of the CPI basket, fell 0.69%, moderating from a 1.76% decline in July.
