India Inflation Rate

India's inflation rate fell to 1.54% in September 2025 from 2.07% in August 2025. This is the lowest rate since June 2017. The decrease is due to falling food prices which saw deflation of -2.28% in September. Lower prices for vegetables, pulses and edible oils contributed to this trend. The rationalization of Goods and Services Tax rates is expected to lower prices further. Core inflation, excluding food and fuel, increased to 4.5%. India's record low inflation rate was 1.54% in June 2017 and record high was 12.17% in November 2013.
