flag India’s rupee hit a record low, but inflation remains stable due to low food import reliance and strong domestic agriculture.

flag The Indian rupee’s plunge to a record low of 90.19 against the dollar on December 4, 2025, is unlikely to significantly boost CPI inflation, according to a Bank of Baroda report. flag The report attributes this resilience to India’s low dependence on food imports and strong domestic agricultural output, with food making up about 46% of the CPI basket. flag While a 5% rupee drop could raise inflation by 15–25 basis points, the impact is expected to be limited due to near self-sufficiency in key crops. flag Main inflationary pressures are likely to stem from imported goods like gold, edible oils, and pulses. flag The rupee’s fall is linked to strong import demand, reduced foreign investment, a widening trade deficit, and uncertainty over U.S. trade policy. flag Despite these factors, the consumption basket structure and low food import reliance are seen as shielding inflation from major currency-driven increases.
