India’s retail inflation cooled further in April 2025, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation dropping to 3.16% year-on-year—the lowest reading in nearly six years. The decline was primarily driven by easing food prices and softening rural inflation. This marks a notable improvement from 3.34% in March 2025, strengthening expectations that inflationary pressures are firmly under control heading into mid-year.
