- (a) to (d) Inflation based on wholesale price index (Base 2004-05=100) and consumer price index - new series (Base 2012=100) in recent months is given in table 1.

Table  1:  Inflation  based  on  Wholesale  Price  Index  and  Consumer  Price  Index  New Series (in per cent)

| Period        |   Jan-15 |   Feb-15 |   Mar-15 |   Apr-15 |   May-15 |   Jun-15 |

| CPI Inflation |      5.2 |      5.4 |      5.3 |      4.9 |      5.0 |      5.4 |

Source: Office of the Economic Adviser, DIPP for WPI and CSO for CPI-NS; Note: Figures for last one month for CPI-NS and for last two months for WPI are Provisional.

The decline in wholesale price inflation is due to fall in inflation of majority of the groups like non-food articles, minerals, crude petroleum, fuel & power, rubber & plastic products and  basic  metals,  alloys  &  metal  products.  However,  retail  inflation  as  measured  by consumer price index is showing rising trend recently. The increase in retail inflation in last two months is mainly due to rise in inflation of groups like pulses and products, meat & fish, spices and Pan, tobacco & intoxicants.

- (e) Government took a number of steps to check the surge in inflation, particularly food inflation.  Some  of  the  major  steps  taken  by  the  Government  are  -  extension  of  zero import duty on pulses till 30-09-2015; export ban on pulses until further orders, except for Kabuli Channa and up to 10,000 MT per annum for Organic pulses & Lentils; stock limit on pulses and edible oils extended till 30-09-2015; stock limit on onion extended till 2nd July, 2016.
- (f)  &  (g)  Taking  into  account  the  developments  that  had  significantly  reduced  the momentum of inflation, the Reserve Bank reduced the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) by 75 basis points from 8.0 per cent to 7.25 per cent between January 15, 2015 and June 2, 2015.

Asked by: RAMDAS CHANDRABHANJI TADAS

- (a) whether the retail inflation has increased during the last three months;
- (b) if so, the details thereof and the reasons therefor;
- (c) the effect it is likely to have on the monetary policy including reduction in loan rates; and
- (d) the steps taken by the Government to check the surge in inflation?

## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI JAYANT SINHA)

(a) & (b) Inflation based on Consumer Price Index - New Series (Base 2012=100) is given in Table 1:

Table 1: Consumer price inflation (in per cent)

| Period   |   Apr-15 |   May-15 |   Jun-15 |
|----------|----------|----------|----------|
| CPI-NS   |      4.9 |      5.0 |      5.4 |

Source: CSO; Note: Figure for June 2015 is provisional

The increase in retail inflation in last two months is due to rise in inflation of groups like pulses and products, meat & fish, spices and Pan, tobacco & intoxicants.

- (c) The Reserve Bank in its Second Bi-monthly Monetary Policy Statement of 201516 on June 2, 2015 noted that, ' Banks have started passing through some of the past  rate  cuts  into  their  lending  rates,  headline  inflation  has  evolved  along  the projected path, the impact of unseasonal  rains has  been  moderate  so  far, administered price increases remain muted, and the timing of normalisation of US monetary  policy  seems  to  have  been  pushed  back.  With  low  domestic  capacity utilization,  still  mixed  indicators  of  recovery,  and  subdued  investment  and  credit growth, there is a case for a cut in the policy rate today '. Accordingly, the policy repo rate  was  reduced  by  25  basis  points  from  7.5  per  cent  to  7.25  per  cent  with immediate effect.
- (d) Government took a number of steps to check the surge in inflation, particularly food inflation. Some of the major steps taken by the Government recently are:
-  Extension of zero import duty on pulses till 30-09-2015;
-  Export ban on pulses until further orders, except for Kabuli Channa and up to 10,000 MT per annum for Organic pulses & Lentils;
-  Stock limit on pulses and edible oils extended till 30-09-2015;
-  Stock limit on onion extended till 2nd July, 2016.
