INDIA AGENDA / SOURCE-BACKED BRIEF
Needs attentionDoes everyday life feel affordable?
A slower rise in the national price index does not mean prices have fallen, or that every household feels relief.
EVIDENCE, WITH ITS LIMITS
What does the number tell us?
2.4%
annual consumer-price inflation
2025 data / India
Annual percentage change in consumer prices in the World Bank series. Rounded to one decimal place.
What it does not tell us
An annual national average, not today's inflation rate or a household budget. Positive inflation means average prices rose; it does not mean they fell. Food, rent and transport can move differently.
