Food inflation is the biggest concern, although core inflation at a record low of 3.1% in June: CRISIL

In June, food inflation surged, pushing Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation to 5.1% from 4.8% in May, mainly due to rising prices of vegetables, cereals, milk, and fruits. Despite a supportive base effect, food inflation hit 9.4%, with vegetable inflation reaching 29.3%. Non-food inflation eased to 2.3%.
