<h1>India's Inflation Trends Rise: CPI at 4.1% in 2019-20; WPI Falls to 1.5%; Food Prices Spike.</h1> Since 2014, inflation in India has moderated, but recent trends show an uptick. The Economic Survey 2019-20 reveals that Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rose from 3.7% in 2018-19 to 4.1% in 2019-20, while Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation dropped from 4.7% to 1.5% in the same period. Food and beverages, particularly vegetables and pulses, were major contributors to inflation due to production disruptions. The Survey suggests enhancing farmer support measures like the Minimum Support Price. It also highlights price volatility reduction in essential commodities from 2014-19, except for some pulses, and notes rural-urban inflation disparities.
