Continuous softening of CPI inflation supporting India’s high growth trajectory: PHDCCI
Year-on-year CPI inflation for June 2025 has softened to 2.10%, marking lowest year-on-year inflation recorded since January 2019, providing a substantial boost to households, businesses, and India’s growth, said Mr. Hemant Jain, President, PHDCCI, in a press statement issued here today.
The CPI inflation is following a continuously easing trajectory, from 6.2% in October 2024 to 5.4% in November 2024, to 5.2% in December 2024, 4.26% in January 2025, 2.82% in May 2025 and now 2.10% in June 2025, posing a decline of 72 basis points in headline inflation of June, 2025 in comparison to May, 2025, he said.
The significant decline in headline inflation and food inflation during the month of June, 2025, is mainly attributed to decline in inflation of Vegetables, Pulses and Products, Meat and Fish, Cereals and products, Sugar and confectionery, Milk and products and Spices, said Mr. Hemant Jain.
Moving ahead, assuming a normal monsoon, CPI inflation is expected to remain well within the RBI’s target band, said Mr. Jain.
