Harish Damodaran on why India's food inflation is low

India is in a rare “Goldilocks” agri-climate with surplus monsoon rains, moderate temperatures, and timely cooling lifting yields across cereals, pulses and vegetables.

Unlike 2023–24, heat stress was limited in 2025, aiding sowing, grain filling and tuber bulking. Supply buffers are strong. Rice and wheat stocks are well above norms, rabi acreage expanded, reservoirs were near-full pre-sowing, and groundwater recharge was robust.

The result. India has flat-to-negative prices in key food items, with sharp declines in potatoes and vegetables.

Risks & outlook: Only an abrupt extreme weather shock (late heat/El Niño) or localised crop stress could reverse this. Absent that, food inflation should continue to remain subdued providing macro stability #Agriculture

First Indian company to potentially achieve domestically mfg solar-grade silicon wafers — BLR-based RSPL, Raana #Semiconductor has raised $3M to support R&D for indigenously designed Czochralski (CZ) monocrystalline ingot pullers (10–12 inch) solar-grade silicon ingots. Key upstream gap that currently drives +$500M/year in wafer imports from China.

RSPL targets commercial rollout within ~18 months, aiming to support ~5 GW capacity over 5 years, with plans to expand into semicon-grade wafers. Effort builds on their proven crystal-growth expertise, including Nd:YAG defence projects under MoD’s iDEX.

Without scaling domestic ingots/wafers/polysilicon, India’s solar import bill will hit $30 bn/year by 2030 as capacity additions outpace upstream localisation. #aatmarnirbharbharat #Energy
