Consumers in Telangana may be a happier lot with the state witnessing a fall in retail prices in June year-on-year (Y-o-Y). The situation is similar in Andhra Pradesh, which saw prices staying flat in the same month. However, if this becomes a trend in the coming months, it could cause concern among producers. While both rural and urban areas in Telangana saw consumer price index (CPI)-based deflation in June at 1.45 per cent and 0.45 per cent, respectively, only rural Andhra witnessed negative inflation at 0.55 per cent. Urban areas had 1.06 per cent inflation.
