The administration is making constant efforts to keep it under control. We have taken a very methodical approach, he claimed in a program held in Karnataka. The current inflation rate is still higher than average. However, efforts are being made to bring it down on a constant basis.
Concerns are raised by the forecast of a weak monsoon
The announcement from the finance minister comes at a time when price fears have been increased due to production restrictions by OPEC+ and projections of a weak monsoon season, despite a reduction in inflation. People are intrigued by the RBI’s claim that interest rates have peaked, though. As a result, it is anticipated that the RBI won’t raise interest rates in the near future.

In March, the second wholesale inflation rate dropped to 1.34%, a 29-month low. The RBI attempted to stop the rate hike on April 6 in a bid to lower interest rates.
