The index of primary articles increased by 0.62 per cent to 178.6 (provisional) in August 2022 from 177.5 (provisional) for the month of July 2022.

Prices of Non-food Articles (1.98 per cent) and Food Articles (1.57 per cent) increased in August 2022 compared to July 2022. Prices of Minerals (-1.90 per cent) and Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas (-7.34 per cent) declined in August 2022 as compared to July 2022.

Further, prices of Mineral Oils (-7.79 per cent) declined in August 2022 as compared to July 2022.
Meanwhile, Indiaโ€™s retail inflation rose to 7 per cent in August from 6.71 per cent the previous month due to a sharp rise in food prices, as per the government data released on Monday.

Retail inflation exceeded the Reserve Bank of Indiaโ€™s tolerance band for the eighth consecutive month. With the headline inflation coming above 6 per cent for the eighth month in a row, the RBI is on a brink of failing to meet its inflation mandate.

The RBI is mandated to keep inflation in a range of 2-6 per cent. The RBI is deemed to have failed in its mandate if the average inflation remains outside the tolerance band for three consecutive quarters.
