India’s wholesale price index (WPI) inflation rose to 3.88 per cent in March mainly due to higher prices of crude oil, natural gas and manufactured products. Fuel costs saw a sharp monthly rise driven by global crude price movements, while food inflation remained stable

In India, extreme heat in May severely affected crop yields and supply chains, contributing to high inflation in essential vegetables

The Reserve Bank of India has projected a retail inflation of 4.2 percent for FY26, down from 4.8 percent in FY25, citing favourable food conditions but warning of global uncertainties and volatile energy prices.

Inflation in potato and onion remained high at 78.73 per cent and 39.25 per cent, respectively, in October

The cost of home-cooked veg thali increased 11 per cent (year-on-year) in the month of September while non-veg thali became cheaper by 2 per cent, a report showed on Friday

The soaring prices of vegetables seems to have hit a ceiling. The only way is downward, thanks to the arrival of new crops

Traders say that all crops standing in the fields, whether fruits or vegetables, have been damaged by the unseasonable rainfall and hail, and prices could soar in a fortnight
