Inflation in India
India witnessed moderately high inflation from 2013 to 2022, generally oscillating between 4% and 6%.

India's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, implemented several measures to control inflation, including monetary policy adjustments.
Over the past decade until 2022, consumer price inflation in India averaged 5.5%, which was above the Asia-Pacific's regional average of 2.1%. The 2022 average figure was 6.7%. For more inflation information, visit our dedicated page.
