core inflation is higher than that of food inflation and the response of core inflation to fuel price shock becomes significant and large during global uncertainties, said a research paper by RBI economists. Food inflation is better anchored since the central bank moved to flexible inflation targeting as its policy goal, the paper said. The paper assessed the degree and duration of the potential second-round effects of food and fuel price shocks on headline inflation. " Our analysis suggests that headline inflation reverts to core inflation and not vice versa. While there has been a decline in the volatility of fuel inflation, its impact on core inflation has turned significant of late" said Harendra Kumar Behera and Abhishek Ranjan from the Reserve Bank's department of Economic and Policy Research. The views are however those of the authors. The article tried to estimate the impact of food and fuel inflation shocks on core inflation to assess second-round effects as it helps to assess whether monetary policy should react to temporary supply shocks. The response of core inflation to food inflation shock is found to be the highest during the 2nd to 3rd quarter and starts dampening thereafter.

Inflation, although not the only factor influencing voter behaviour, has historically triggered considerable concern ahead of elections—whether it was the skyrocketing onion prices before the 1998 polls or the double-digit inflation prior to 2014. The recent price pinch has forced the current government, too, to announce measures such as the reduction in petrol and diesel prices. “If you see the nature of inflation shocks in India, they tend to be more on the supply side, which is food and fuel, and the levers to contain those happen to be in the hands of the governments," said Renu Kohli, senior fellow at Centre for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP).

Rituparna Chakraborty, Co-Founder, TeamLease, says “artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, will get into every aspect of our lives and the way we do things even in our workplaces. But having said that, it does not mean that all jobs are going away. It is a call to action for all of us that the kind of skill sets that we are empowering our youth with, definitely needs to be changed, which means there will be demand for higher skill sets. So, the skill sets with which kids are able to find jobs, is not how it is going to be for our youth for the next five years or the decades that we will see. The sooner we prepare ourselves for this inevitable outcome, the better it is.” What is the story? I have always seen that a sector like IT only hires, hires, hires, and hires. Now they are not hiring. Rituparna Chakraborty: We have gotten so used to the technology sector being a net employment generator for the economy that on the face of it, it seems disappointing and shocking to some extent.

CPI) inflation does not have to touch the Reserve Bank of India's 4% target, but sustainably move towards that mark for interest rates to be lowered, Ashima Goyal, external member of the central bank's monetary policy committee (MPC), told ET. «Headline inflation does not have to reach target but has to durably approach it for the MPC to cut rates,» Goyal said in an interview after the release of the MPC's April 3-5 minutes. «If expected headline inflation stays persistently below 4.5%, our current real repo rate would be too high.» She said she would look for more confirmation of India's resilience to supply shocks and the anchoring of inflation expectations, while citing global risks, domestic political flux and the progress of the monsoon as uncertainties that shaped her view of a status quo on rates in April.
