Retail inflation came down to a 15-month low of 5.66 per cent in the month of March. This is official data. Along with this, the government has claimed that in the coming months, inflation is going to remain in the range of 5 percent while remaining below 6 percent. In such a situation, it is very important to have a reality test today whether inflation has really come down in the country. We will also test this with official data only. So that it can also be confirmed that the government is not playing with the general public by playing with its own figures.
In such a situation, today we have taken the data of the Department of Consumer Affairs, in which the retail prices of about 20 items like different varieties of flour, pulses, rice, sugar, milk, edible oil are updated on a daily basis and this data is based on the state and It is also city wise. But we have taken the average data of the department which represents the whole country.
So let’s start checking 110 prices of the basic needs of the common people in the country earlier and how much difference has come in them on April 20 and what has become cheaper and what has become costlier. Here we will show you three types of tables, the first one will be the table which will have the prices of January 1. The second table will have the prices of April 20. An attempt will be made to explain to you from two more tables what has become cheap and what has become expensive.

You decide yourself whether the inflation has decreased or increased
In the last two tables, in which the figures of costlier and cheaper have been given, it clearly shows that in 110 days, the maximum decline has been seen in edible oil. Mustard, sunflower and soya oils are major detractors. On the other hand, there has been a decline of more than 10 percent in the prices of potato and onion. The prices of flour have also come down by about 7 percent. On the other hand, no effect has been seen in the inflation of pulses. There has been an increase of 6 percent in moong and arhar, and more than 3 percent increase in urad dal. There has also been an increase in the prices of rice and milk. In such a situation, the prices of some essential commodities have increased, whereas there has been a decline in the prices of some. In such a situation, you yourself decide according to the needs of the house whether the inflation has increased or decreased.
