India's retail inflation at 5.54% in Nov

India's retail inflation in November 2019 rose to 5.54% from 4.62% in October 2019. The figure was at 2.33% in November 2018.

High food inflation driven by a continued surge in vegetable prices, particularly onions, pushed overall inflation. Food price inflation (rural and urban) climbed 10.01% in November 2019, as against 7.89% in October 2019.

The RBI in its fifth bi-monthly monetary policy statement on 5 December 2019, revised retail inflation projection upwards to 4.7-5.1% for the second half of FY2020 and 3.8-4% for the first half of FY2021.
