high inflation in india can be contributed to several factors like:
sixth pay commission which increased the spending power of public. this lead to people paying more for goods as they were now able to do so coz of large money in their hand.
drought last year lead to decrease in supply of consumer goods, thereby increasing the food prices. also the rise in global food prices is one of the reasons.
Following a decline in sugar cane production in 2007-08, domestic sugar production declined by 2 mt in 2008-09 over the previous year. Surprisingly, despite this production decline, sugar exports increased sharply in 2008-09. The decline in production along with larger exports reduced domestic availability, which fueled inflation.
