Inflation Fears Ease: Indians Expect Price Drop, RBI Survey Shows

The Reserve Bank of India’s latest Inflation Expectations Survey of Households (IESH), conducted in July 2025, reveals a positive trend. Indian households anticipate a decline in inflation levels in the coming months.

This shift in perception is significant, suggesting a growing optimism about the country’s economic outlook. The survey data indicates a decrease in expected inflation across various time horizons.

The RBI will closely analyze these findings as it formulates its monetary policy decisions. The easing of inflationary pressures could provide some relief to consumers and boost overall economic activity.

This positive sentiment, however, needs sustained monitoring. The government and RBI must remain vigilant to ensure price stability and prevent any resurgence of inflationary pressures, safeguarding the hard-earned gains of the common man.
