India’s CPI inflation increased to 4.8% YoY in August 2026, up from 4.5% in July, remaining above the RBI’s 4.0% target for the third consecutive month. Food prices are the primary driver, indicating persistent price pressures in the economy. This inflation trend suggests the RBI is unlikely to ease monetary policy soon, impacting bond yields and rupee volatility.
