India retail inflation likely remained unchanged at 4.4% in July: Mint poll
India's retail inflation likely held steady at 4.4% in July 2026, according to a Mint poll of 18 economists. Despite rising food prices, a favourable base from previous months helped offset upward pressure. The official inflation data will be released on August 12, with economists predicting a median estimate that exceeds the Reserve Bank of India's 4% target.
