Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current inflation rate in India?▼
India's CPI inflation rate fluctuates monthly. As of recent data from MOSPI (Ministry of Statistics), retail inflation is around 4-6% annually. The RBI targets 4% inflation with a tolerance band of 2-6%.
How does inflation affect my investments?▼
Inflation reduces purchasing power. If inflation is 6% and your investment returns 8%, your real return is only 2%. Fixed deposits at 7% barely beat inflation, while equities historically deliver 12-15% returns in India, offering better inflation protection.
What is CPI and how is it calculated in India?▼
CPI (Consumer Price Index) measures changes in the price of a basket of goods and services consumed by households. In India, MOSPI calculates CPI using prices from 1,114 urban and 1,181 rural markets across the country, covering food, housing, transport, and other categories.
