ndia’s Retail Inflation 2025, Retail Inflation outlook for February 2025 live news updates: As food prices continue to slide, retail inflation based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) is likely to have dropped further to around 4 per cent in February. The government will make the data public on Wednesday. Retail inflation was 4.3 per cent in January, which was the lowest in five months. If rates come down below 4 per cent, it would be for the first time after August when headline number comes down below the median of targeted inflation range of 4 per cent. Also, this is a big factor for consideration by the Monetary Policy Committee in deciding on another policy rate cut. In February, for the first time in five years, the committee lowered the policy rate by 25 basis points.
