India Inflation may Stay Low as Commodity Prices Ease: Govt

NEW DELHI, June 30 (Reuters) - Inflation in India ​may remain relatively contained ‌in the coming months as global commodity prices ease, ​the monthly economic report ​published by the Ministry of ⁠Finance said on ​Tuesday.

Here are some details from ​the report:

  • Easing global commodity prices, including crude oil and urea, ​may help reduce imported ​inflationary pressures.

  • Government interventions and adequate buffer ‌stocks ⁠of key agricultural commodities can help manage supply risks.

  • Middle East conflict and ​below-normal ​monsoon rainfall ⁠underscore the need to rethink India's ​agricultural pricing policies, ​report ⁠says.

  • Pricing incentives should encourage farmers to cultivate climate-resilient crops.
