Inflation Stays Moderate, But Energy Risks Are Rising
Consumer inflation remains under control, but rising energy costs could complicate the outlook.
India's inflation remained relatively moderate in April, giving policymakers some breathing room.
However, the risk is now shifting toward energy. Higher crude prices can affect fuel, transport, aviation and manufacturing costs. These increases can take time to show up in headline inflation, but they may build pressure over several months.
The Reserve Bank of India will be watching whether energy costs spread into broader prices. For households, the key question is whether official inflation data matches real spending pressure.
Core inflation, which excludes food and fuel, will be a critical gauge of how widely energy costs are spreading through the economy.
