India's retail inflation eases to 8-year low of 1.55% in July; experts see benign outlook ahead
Live Events Expert Views (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel India's retail inflation dropped to an over eight-year low of 1.55% in July, aided by a sharp cooling in food prices , according to government data released this is the first time in more than six years that inflation has fallen below the Reserve Bank of India 's ( RBI ) 2–6% tolerance band, and it marks the lowest year-on-year rate since June inflation, which accounts for nearly half of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) basket, contracted by 1.76% in July, deeper than the 1.06% contraction recorded in decline was largely driven by falling prices of cereals and pulses, even as certain items such as vegetables, fruits, and edible oils saw price week, the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) cautioned that inflation could rise in the last quarter of FY26 due to volatile food prices, particularly sharp easing in retail inflation to an eight-year low is likely to boost sentiment in the bond market , as it strengthens the case for the RBI to maintain an accommodative stance for market participants are expected to remain cautious given the RBI's warning about possible inflation upticks in the last quarter of FY26. If price pressures resurface, especially in vegetables and other perishables, it could temper bond market gains and push yields higher now, the benign inflation print provides a favourable backdrop for fixed income, with the medium-term trajectory hinging on how food price risks evolve, experts Mittal, Senior Fund Manager – Fixed Income, Tata Asset Management, said the July CPI print of 1.55% came in marginally above market expectations of 1.40% but was consistent with the RBI's projected trajectory. 'This was largely on account of low food inflation. We believe CPI will remain well-anchored going forward and might undershoot the RBI's trajectory,' he Balasubramanian, SVP & Economist – Fixed Income, Bandhan AMC, said the July CPI was in line with their forecast of 1.6%, reflecting rising food price momentum from vegetables, fruits, and vegetable oils, partially offset by negative price momentum in cereals and pulses. 'Core CPI moderated to 4.1% from 4.4% in June, as price momentum in education and personal care & effects moved lower,' he expects inflation to remain benign in the coming months, supported by healthy Kharif crop sowing, which bodes well for agricultural output and price while food price volatility remains a risk, experts believe India's inflation trajectory will stay comfortably within the RBI's target range in the near term, offering policy space for sustained economic growth.: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

IBBI urges CoCs to scrutinise information memorandums of insolvent firms
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI), in its latest newsletter, has urged Committees of Creditors (CoCs) to thoroughly discuss the information memorandum (IM) — a key document containing complete details of a company undergoing insolvency. The regulator has also asked creditors to share extracts from any audits they have conducted — such as stock audits, transaction audits, or forensic audits — with the resolution professional (RP) to ensure the IM is accurate. Due process and bidder eligibility In a recent discussion paper, the IBBI asked CoCs to formally discuss the eligibility of bidders during their meetings. Experts believe the regulator is seeking to ensure that due processes are followed, after several court rulings criticised CoCs' conduct in various cases. 'To help the RP prepare an accurate IM, creditors are required to provide important data related to the corporate debtor's assets and liabilities. These inputs help in preparing applications for avoidance transactions, ensure correct asset valuation, and lead to a complete and reliable IM,' IBBI Chairperson Ravi Mittal said in the newsletter. Mittal said the memorandum should also disclose related party transactions as shown in the financial statements. This would help the CoC and prospective resolution applicants identify parties who may be disqualified from submitting a resolution plan under Section 29A of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and determine whether exemptions under Section 32A apply. The regulator has earlier suggested that resolution applicants submit an affidavit stating whether they are eligible for the benefit of Section 32A, which provides immunity to the corporate debtor and its property from prosecution for offences committed prior to commencement of the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP). IBBI said this aims to uphold the integrity of the process and prevent potential abuse. Supreme Court criticism On May 23, the Supreme Court's two-judge bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma, in the Bhushan Steel and Power matter, strongly criticised the CoC and the RP. It observed that the RP had 'utterly failed' to discharge statutory duties and that the CoC failed to exercise its commercial wisdom while approving the resolution plan of JSW.
