The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has initiated a fresh survey to assess inflation expectations among households across 19 cities. The exercise, conducted regularly by the central bank, seeks to capture consumer perceptions about current and future price movements, which play a crucial role in shaping monetary policy decisions. Officials said the survey will help the RBI understand household sentiment regarding rising costs of essentials and broader inflationary pressures.
In another significant development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Maruti Suzuki’s first Made-in-India electric vehicle, the e-Vitara. The unveiling marks a milestone in India’s transition towards sustainable mobility, with the model set to hit the market in the coming months. Maruti Suzuki has emphasized that the e-Vitara will cater to both domestic demand and export markets, aligning with the government’s push for electric mobility and self-reliance under the "Make in India" initiative.
While the RBI’s survey reflects the central bank’s focus on managing inflation and maintaining economic stability, the launch of the e-Vitara highlights the government’s priority on green technology and industrial innovation. Together, the developments underscore India’s balancing act between stabilizing its economy and preparing for a sustainable future.
