The Lallantop Show, Episode no. 2010| 13 May 2026
In today’s LT show, Abhishek is discussing the following news:
Commercial cylinder prices have more than doubled. A hike in petrol and diesel prices is considered inevitable. However, the impact of inflation is already visible even before the increase in fuel prices. In today’s show, we will discuss how inflation has risen over the past two months. Amul has increased milk prices by 2 rupees. There are signs of a sugar shortage. Poor rainfall and a lack of fertilizers could also affect crops. Taking everything into account, should we assume that an inflation bomb is about to explode in India? We will consult experts to understand their outlook on inflation in the coming times.
The show will also discuss the statement made by former RBI Governor D. Subbarao. He said, “If inflation persists long enough, inflation expectations harden, and it can morph what is today a supply shock into a demand shock.” What is the significance of Subbarao’s statement? We will talk to experts to understand what the future holds on the economic front.
