NEXT STORYEconomy to grow at 5.6 per cent inFY'15: Survey
While prices of protein rich items like egg,meat and fish contracted during the month,inflation in milk and pulses inched up to12.18 per cent and 7.81 per cent,respectively, as compared to July.
While the news was greeted with cheer, most analysts are of the opinion that the ReserveBank of India's (RBI) tough stand on inflation will continue, since it is the Consumer PriceIndex (CPI) that the central bank tracks.
CPI inflation slowed to 7.8 per cent in August from nearly 8 per cent in the previousmonth. Consumer food inflation went up 9.42 per cent from 9.36 per cent in the previousmonth but with the monsoon improving dramatically in September, a further spike isunlikely.
Declining crude and vegetables prices will provide further relief with a cut in diesel priceson the cards. However, most experts still expect the RBI to hold interest rates when itreviews monetary policy on September 30. Retail inflation is still close to RBI's March2015 target of 8 per cent.
"We do not expect RBI to change its stance in the upcoming credit policy announcementlater this month and thereby the repo rate is likely to remain unchanged," Care Ratingssaid in a statement last week. The possibility of a rise in interest rates in the US couldalso keep pressure on the central bank to maintain status quo.

"However, potato prices were on the rise as inflation in the kitchen essential jumped to61.61 per cent from 46.41 per cent in July" What does this mean ? What is kitchenessentials ? WPI is low, protein content are low, vegetables and fruits are low and evenonion prices are low ? Only what i get is potato.milk and pulses prises are rising. Pulses iget it. but potato is called kitchen essential ? From where i see, the changes aresignificant. WPI fell for the third month, which isn't a coincident. Looks like what govt. didseems to be working. Only problem that i see here is alot of this inflation is createdartificially with bad and crony market practises. Govt. can't sit idle even if inflation isbrought down because these people can increase the prices again by controlling supply.We need a special task force with a market regulator for this.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, elected in May amid anger over persistently high inflation,particularly food inflation, has made cooling prices a top priority for his administration.Hehas ordered a crackdown on hoarding, and set limits on the export of staples, such asonions and potatoes. But analysts say these measures, at best, can provide brief relief,and cannot fix a dilapidated supply system controlled by middlemen.India is the world'ssecond-biggest producer of fruit and vegetables after China, but it battles chronic

shortages as an estimated 18 percent of the crop goes to waste every year due toinadequate cold storage and refrigerated transport facilities.New Delhi estimates it needsto invest $9 billion in the cold supply chain by March 2016 to handle growing output of fruitand vegetables. That is more than 10 times the $822 million allocated in Modi's maidenbudget last month, and far more than the government can afford.

Seems like inflation is based on goods which no common man consumes. While commonpeople are reeling under high price, Govt claims inflation has come down. It can onlymean prices are rising at a slower pace although they remain skyhigh are are movinghigher. What a paradox!

January 2016 target at 6 percent, rate cuts are unlikely to be in thepicture. I maintain that the repo rate will be held unchanged for rest ofthe year to ensure recovery in growth does not disrupt thedisinflationary trend. Improved rainfall in recent weeks should help tomoderate food price pressures, lower global oil prices and thefavourable statistical base should help lower inflation, but there werecounter-forces to consider.
