1. INTRODUCTION
“I don't mind going back to daylight saving time. With ination, the hour will be the only thing
I've saved all year.”
-Victor Borge
Ination refers to a signicant rise in the general price level in a country over a long period of
time. It is the opposite of price stability. In economics, price stability is not used in a rigid sense to
mean price xity. A modest increase of 2 to 3 per cent per annum in the price level is a compatible,
sometimes even desirable, in the context of economic development. However, when the general
price rise appreciates (say in double-digit gure) and is experienced over a long period of time, it
gets the dreaded name of ination. For the common person, there is something threatening about
the phenomenon of ination, especially on those occasions when the rise in prices of goods is not
matched by an equivalent rise in the prices of labor.
Ination is usually measured based on certain indices. An Index number is a single gure that
shows how the whole set of related variables has changed over time or from one place to another.
In India, we use two major indices for measuring ination or price levels.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
In the past few years, the Indian economy has witnessed a period of high ination and declining
growth. On one hand, prices of a number of goods have increased exponentially and, on the other
hand, industrial production is at an all-time low. Though this period can still not be classied as
'stagation' but we can denitely say that if the situation worsens, then Indian economy can move
to this dreadful phase. There have been a lot of discussions on the kind of ination, demand pull or
cost push, that India is facing and also on its effects on Indian economy. There is a burning debate
on whether ination is the result of over expansionary scal policy followed by the Government
of India or it is a supply side phenomenon basically resulting from structural problems of the
country.
A lot of studies have also tried to ascertain the validity of the Phillips curve in India's case and
validity of the trade-off between ination and growth theory but nothing concrete has come out
yet. And this provided us with the very motivation of doing a project on 'Ination and its effect on
Indian economy'.
Economists often distinguish between two types of ination: Demand-Pull Ination and Cost-
Push Ination. Both the type of Ination causes an increase in the overall price level within an
economy. The RBI's most important goal is to moderate and stable ination in order to maintain
monetary stability in India. The RBI uses monetary policy to maintain price stability and an
adequate ow of credit.
Joshi V. K. (2012) in his study based on the impact of monetary policy of India in ination found
that the thrust of monetary policy was on reducing the annual ination rate. In the study period
from 2009-11, he found that the ination has crossed the historical records reached upto a level of
14%. Based on the study he concluded that CRR is most important measure by which RBI can
combat ination. In the last six months the ination has dropped from a level of 7.17 in January
2015 to 4.36 in July 2015. In the last decade Ination range between 4-14% with highest in 2009.
The RBI revises CRR and the repo rate in their quarterly and mid-quarter policy reviews to
maintain a balance between growth and ination.
Bhattacharya K. and Bhattarcharyya I. (2001) in their paper examined the transmission
mechanism of an increase in oil prices on prices of other commodities and output in India using
monthly data from April 1994 to December 2000. The paper specied a four equation VAR model
to study the interaction of ination in oil with non-oil ination and growth in money and output.

The paper also analysed the nature and extent of feedback in such transmission and found that
there exists a board independence-directional causality between oil and non-oil ination in India.
The study concluded that this board independence-directional causality is pertinent as
policymakers had had typically increased the administered prices of petroleum products when
the overall inationary environment had been favourable. The results of VAR model revealed
that 20% point shock increase in oil prices lead to 1.3% point increase in ination in other
commodities. In earlier studies on Oil shock in India, Rangarajan et. al. (1981) and Sastry (1982)
used input-output analysis to estimate the cost-push effect of a hike. However their method is not
useful in estimating the shock over a long period of time given static nature. The IMF (2000)
report indicated that a sustained US $ 5 per barrel increase in the price of oil leads to 1.3 % point
increase in ination after a year and it also reduces the annual GDP growth by 0.1% point.
However, the report acknowledges that the magnitude of such an impact crucially depends on the
monetary policy followed.
Exchange rate stability is crucial for ination management as a stable rate is expected to reduce
domestic ination pressures through a 'policy discipline effect'- restricting money supply
growth, and a 'credibility effect'- inducing higher money demand and reduced velocity of money
(Mohanty and Bhanumurthy, 2014). Using a monetary model of Ination, Mohanty and
Bhanumurthy, 2014 investigated the impact of stable exchange rate regime on ination in India
during different episodes of exchange rate stability. The results showed that the impact of
exchange rate regime on ination is not visible in Indian case may be due to the large scale
intervention by RBI to even out exchange rate volatility. The literature on the assessment of the
optimal exchange rate regime favours stable exchange rate regime for ination consequences; a
stable exchange rate is considered less inationary than a more exible regime as it has a
restrictive impact on the determinants of ination such as, money supply and money demand.
Barro and Gordon (1983) developed the idea that a xed or stable exchange rate policy could help
impart credibility of low ination policies of a central bank. The main argument in favour of
stable exchange rate regimes is the ability of such regimes to induce price discipline and
commitment to monetary policy efciency. A number of other studies in the recent past followed
the idea coined by them.
3. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this paper is to do an in depth analysis of factors that have fuelled ination in
India in the past few years.
1. To provide a theoretical background of Ination and to discuss the historical experience
of India with respect to ination.
2. To ascertain the causes and the effect of ination on Indian economy.

4.2 Post-Reform period (1991-92 to 2012-13)
Price levels have been persistently rising in the post-reform period with no year experiencing
deation.
Period: 1991-92 to 2000-01
By March, 1991 rupee depreciated by nearly 37 percent with respect to dollar and this added to
the inationary pressures in the economy. Sustained rise in fuel prices combined with the phased
opening of Indian economy during this period also added to the ination. As a result a sharp
increase in ination was witnessed during 1992-96. From 1995-96 onwards, there has been a
continuous deceleration and the average ination for the period 1996-97 to 2000-01 was the
lowest since the mid 1950s in terms of the 52 week average.
Period 2000-01 to 2009-10
During this period ination varied from as low as 3.3 percent in 1999-2000 to as high as 7.2
percent in 2000-01. However, after this ination witnessed a decelerating trend and remained at
about 3.4 percent in 2002-03. In 2004-05, spurt in domestic food prices due to decient monsoon
coupled a spurt in the international oil prices again drove up domestic prices. Ination began to
ease in the second half of 2004-05 under the impact of a combination of scal and monetary
measures. In 2005-06, WPI ination eased to 4.3 per cent as compared to 6.5 per cent a year
earlier.
In this decade 2000-01, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2006- 07, and 2008-09 had higher ination relative to
the decadal average of 5.4 percent. The years 2003-04, 2004-05, 2006-07, and 2008-09 also

witnessed high ination in manufactured products mainly on account of high prices of raw
materials. Major drivers of ination in 2008-09 were high international fuel and commodity
prices. Year 2009-10 was marked by global slowdown and unfavorable monsoon, average
ination during this period was 3.6 percent.
Period 2010-13
This period is very peculiar in India's experiences of ination. This is period is marked by high
ination resulting from elevated inationary expectations, hike in vegetable prices due to
unseasonal rains post monsoon and rising global commodity prices. Food products have been the
major drivers of ination during this period. The nancial year started with a headline ination of
9.7 per cent which briey touched double digit in September 2011 before coming down to 6.6 per
cent in January 2012. It was expected that decline in growth during the period 2011-12 will ease
the pressure on core ination but the extent of moderation was constrained by depreciating rupee
and high global commodity prices.
Primary food articles ination declined sharply during November 2011–January 2012, largely
reecting a seasonal decline in the prices of vegetables. However, prices rebounded signicantly
subsequently, resulting in food ination reverting to double-digit levels by April 2012. As per
mid-year analysis 2012-13, ination as measured by WPI averaged 8.9 per cent for 2011-12. In
the rst half of 2012-13, it decelerated to 7.7 percent. It fall to 7.32 per cent in October 2012, 7.24
per cent in November, 7.18 per cent December 2012 and stood at 6.62 (provisional) for the month
of January 2013.
4.3 Recent Trends
The Economic Survey 2016-2017 highlighted that the retail ination is likely to be below 5% in
the current scal year as demonetisation would discourage ant price headwind. According to the
survey the new ination targeting approach by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) and gains
from macro-economic stability will help India consolidate gains on price control, meaning prices
will be less susceptible of individual whims and caprice of governments. In the year 2016, retail
ination stabilised around 5 per cent, while wholesale price-based ination averaged around 2.9
per cent during April-December, 2016.
Ination in the scal year 2016-17 has been characterized by two distinctive features. The
Consumer Price Index during April-December, 2016, averaged 4.9 per cent and displayed a
downward trend since July when it became apparent that kharif agricultural production in
general, and pulses in particular would be bountiful. The decline in pulses prices has contributed
substantially to the decline in CPI ination which reached 3.4 percent at end-December. On the
On wholesale-price front, a reversal trend was observed from a trough of (-) 5.1 per cent in August
2015 to 3.4 per cent at the end of December 2016 due to rising international crude prices. The
average ination based on the wholesale price index (WPI) also declined to (-) 2.5 per cent in
2015-16 from 2.0 per cent in 2014- 15. The downward trend however reversed during the current

nancial year partly due to impact of rise in global commodity prices and partly owing to adverse
base effect. The global commodity and energy prices have increased by 18 per cent and 23 per cent
respectively in the rst eleven months of 2016 as per IMF price indices. The wedge between CPI
and WPI ination, which had serious implications for the measurement of GDP has narrowed
considerably. Core ination has, however, been more stable, hovering around 4.5 percent to 5
percent for the year so far. India has managed to maintain export competitiveness despite capital
inows and ination that has been greater than in trading partners. Reecting this, India's global
market share in manufacturing exports has risen between 2010 and 2015. Ination hardened
during the rst few months of 2016-17, mainly due to upward pressure on the prices of pulses and
vegetables. It dipped to two-year low of 3.4 per cent in December 2016 as a result of lower prices
especially of food items.

Another factor might be demand factors as rising incomes have drastically increased the
purchasing power of the population, further increasing consumption demand. This surge in
demand has triggered inationary pressures, particularly in sectors where supply has lagged
behind. As public policy continued to spur growth in consumption demand and wages, ination
became a common phenomenon. Supply shocks can trigger sudden and sharp inationary
pressures, but the pressures diminish when supplies revive. In India, the constant ination stems,
instead, from government policies that spurred consumption demand by increasing wages and
salaries but did not do enough to remove supply-side bottlenecks. Within the framework of such
scal policies that boosted consumption, supply shocks had a larger effect on inationary
pressures. In India, an expansionary scal policy has boosted consumption demand in recent
years. A sharp increase in the international prices of fuels has also acted as a trigger for ination.

There are domestic factors that have a role to play. India is a developing country where the
markets and the inter linkages between markets are not perfectly established and are
underdeveloped. This means that when there is an increase in money supply, there is no
corresponding change in production of goods. The supply of goods takes a longer time to adjust
and hence it leads to ination. Other important domestic factors include the practice of hoarding.

Hoarding is stockpiling of items when a shortage is expected or it may be strategic in order to
decrease supply and hence increase the market price

There have been wage increases by the government, which more than compensated for ination,
but had no established link to productivity improvement. Such a growth in wages without an
improvement in productivity is a source of ination. The wages of a large section of workers in the
economy rise in line with ination as they may be linked to ination like the linking of wages to
ination under NREGA. This linkage between wages and ination through MGNREGA has the
potential to spread a wage-price spiral across various sections of the economy. It is important to
link wage increases to productivity, to increase supply in line with rising demand. Despite
monetary tightening, inationary pressures have continued. The RBI has attempted to reign in
demand, which the higher scal decit red by consumption-oriented spending, through interest
rate hikes. The nature and quantum of scal spending has thus muted the effectiveness of the
monetary policy. Political instability in the country makes investors wary of investing in India.
This reduced investment decreases growth opportunities and causes supply bottlenecks thus
further fuelling supply shortage and price increase.

By virtue of being an open economy, the Indian macroeconomic variables including ination will
be inuenced by external factors. Suppose there is an increase in the prices of goods produced in
USA due to increasing costs resulting from new labour laws or taxation policies. This would
increase the price of imports from USA and thus an increase in the domestic price level of the
commodity. Also, if these goods happen to be used as inputs in some manufacturing process, the
cost of production increases. Another factor for ination is the depreciation of the Rupee which
has the same impact as an increase in prices of foreign goods as the Rupee becomes relatively
cheaper and now 1 Rupee is able to buy a lesser amount of foreign goods. The impact is modest but
signicant. Controlling for lagged ination, global commodity prices, and the output gap, which
are all statistically signicant, a 10% depreciation of the currency raises quarterly headline and
core ination by 1% and 0.8% respectively. For comparison, 10% higher global commodity prices
raises India's headline and core ination by 1% and 0.5% respectively in the same quarter.

Industries
Industries and economic activity all over India has also been adversely affected. Ination has led
to the increase in the costs of inputs such as raw materials and labor to some extent. This increase
in costs has led to the decline in margins. There is some extent up to which industries can bear
these added expenses resulting from ination, once these increased prices are passed on to the
customers, it further adds to ination. According to a CRISIL research, EBITDA margins, which
touched 5-year lows in 2012-13, are expected to remain under pressure, as input costs escalate and
demand remains weak (gure-6).
Consumer
The section of the society that is most affected by ination is the consumer. As the salaries and
income of the individual's increases with a lag, there is always a time when prices of good are
increasing and they are becoming less and less affordable because income is stagnant. Fixed
wage earners are most affected by it as it takes more time for their wages to adjust to rising
ination. If the ination is high and persistent, the lag between price rise and wage rise increases.
Population at the lower end on the spectrum is most affected by ination.

Investment
Ination has distorted the nancial system of the country. In its initial stages, the system was able
to withstand its adverse effect because the nancial institutions by their very nature tend to ignore
the purchasing power of money and operate with reference to interest rates and maturity of
nancial instruments. However, as ination has gathered strength, the nancial system is not able
to withstand it. As the ination has crossed its earlier phases, strain on the nancial system,
speculation, and expectations of further price rise and similar other forces have lead to an increase
in unemployment and a fall in output. Eventually, in the nal phase of ination, the output and
employment levels may fall to abysmally low levels. Fluctuating prices generate opposite effects
on debtors and creditors. Rising prices have proved benecial for debtors at the expense of
creditors. Thus, ination has discouraged people to invest in nancial assets. All this has been
coupled by the decline in foreign investment in the country because of decline in investor
condence. Overseas investors have pulled out a massive Rs 44,162 crores from the Indian capital
market in the month of June, 2013 itself.
Equality and Poverty
Although ination erodes the wealth of each and every individual equally, its effects are more
pronounced on poor people rather than rich. The people that are already living at subsistence level
are most affected by it. In terms of capability deprivation, ination has not only led to an increase
in inequality but also to increase in poverty.
Currency depreciation

Weakening of Indian rupee is both the cause and effect of ination. As the domestic ination has
increased, imports have become cheaper leading to the increased demand of dollars, thus
depreciation the currency. A depreciated currency, on the other hand, has now increased the cost
of imported goods too further fuelling ination. A weak Indian rupee has increased the cost of oil
and petroleum which is a major input in many industries and seriously affected the protability of
many industries.

From the above discussion, we can easily make out the effect of ination on the overall growth of
the economy. As shown in the gure India's GDP growth has declined from 9.4% to 4.7% in 2013
and much of the can be attributed to the adverse effects of ination on economic growth.

A negative relationship between CRR and Ination
A positive relationship between Exchange rate and Ination
A positive relationship between Petrol Prices and Ination.

Equation:
The regression equation thus developed would be:
Y= -3.057895 – 1.094898 X1+ 0.9160321 X2 + 1.7735266 X3 + 0.7396423 X4
Interpretation of the results:
The intercept term represents the rate of ination when all the variables are equal to 0. It is equal to
-3.057895 and has no economic interpretation. The coefcient of X1 has the expected negative
sign. It is equal to -1.094898. It implies that for every 1% increase in repo rate, there is a
1.094898% decrease in ination. The coefcient of X2 was expected to have a negative sign. But
the analysis shows that there is a positive sign. This might be due to sample errors like
multicollinearity. The coefcient of X3 has the expected positive sign. It is equal to 1.7735266.
This implies that for every 1% increase in depreciation of the Rupee, the ination increases by
1.7735266 %. The coefcient of X4 has the expected positive sign. It is equal to 0.7396423. This
implies that for every 1% increase in petrol prices, ination increases by 0.7396423%.
The R square value signies that 52.71373% of variation in ination can be explained by the
above mentioned factors.
Signicance of Variables:
Take a level of signicance of 5% (=0.05)
Null hypothesis: Coefcient is 0
Alternate Hypothesis: Coefcient is not 0
If the p value is less than the level of signicance, we reject the null hypothesis.
Thus the all variables i.e. intercept, X1, X2, X3 and X4 are statistically signicant. They have an
individual impact on ination in India.
Reasons for variable X2 having a sign opposite to what is expected include the possibility of
multicollinearity.
There is an 82.52% negative linear relationship between X2 and X3. This might be the reason for
the coefcient of variable X2 turning out to be positive rather than negative.
F-Test:
Degrees of freedom of numerator= 3
Degrees of freedom of denominator= 26
At 5% level of signicance, FTabulated= 2.9752
FCalculated = 7.246063

Since Fcalculated>FTabulated, the null is rejected and this means that the variables are jointly
signicant.
As per the data collected for Indian ination and its various factors, it can be seen that repo rate,
CRR, exchange rate and petrol prices are factors that denitely have an impact on ination in the
country. They have an impact individually and are also jointly signicant as shown by the F-test.
These factors are able to explain about 53% of the factors affecting ination. Other non-
quantiable factors as discussed include political instability, supply bottlenecks and excessive
demand.
