Motilal Oswal Report

The Consumer Price Index-based retail inflation has come in at an eight-month high of 7.3% YoY in September-20 (versus 6.7% in August-20 and 4% in September 2019).

The number was higher than our expectation of 6.4% and market consensus of 6.9%.

Higher food inflation was driven entirely by vegetable inflation as it shot up to 20.7% in September-20 from 11.5% a month ago.

Excluding vegetables, CPI inflation was flat at 6.3% YoY in September-20.

Overall, food inflation came in at 10.7% YoY in September-20 (versus 9% a month ago).
