What's behind this

Retail inflation rose sharply to a two‑year high of 6.09 per cent in October, up from 5.54 per cent in September, according to the consumer price index. The increase was driven by costlier food items and pushed the headline rate above the Reserve Bank of India's upper tolerance limit of 6 per cent for the first time since October 2024. Food inflation also accelerated, spiking to 8.94 per cent in October from 7.74 per cent the month before, as reported by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation.
