The July inflation figure was largely in line with economists' expectations and marked the second consecutive month that inflation breached the RBI's 4% medium-term target. Food inflation climbed to 5.52% in July from 5.32% in June, driven by weak monsoon showers. Despite this, economists anticipate limited pass-through to consumers due to the absence of significant revisions in domestic retail fuel prices, even as transport inflation accelerated to 4.43% in July from 4.31% in June.
