Inflation reflects sustained price rises, eroding purchasing power. India faces both demand-pull (excess money supply) and cost-push (input cost spikes) inflation. RBI’s inflation-targeting approach (4% ± 2%) via the MPC guides policy rates to balance growth with price stability. Structural factors—like supply bottlenecks, agricultural dependence on monsoons—can cause food inflation. Concepts like WPI, CPI, and core inflation are frequently tested. Questions often link inflation to interest rates, fiscal deficits, and external factors (oil prices). Understanding the interplay between macro variables is essential for robust exam readiness.
