      @Vinay Chaudhary People cannot stop using household products all of a sudden. It is a necessity. They will sell their assets to fulfill their needs.

      The prices go up when supply is in shortage. Not based on whether people have money or not. When supply is in short, only the privileged gets to buy them and others suffer.

    I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT HOW THE FIGURES ABOVE PROJECTIONS ARE BULLISH, WHERE AS RISING PRICES ARE NEGATIVE FOR CONSUMER PERSPECTIVE AND HENCE FOR MARKET. DOES THIS BULLISH SIGNAL MEANS THAT THE RUPEE VALUE WILL RISE, E.G. FROM 66.50 TO 67. CONFUSED BECAUSE PURCHASING POWER OF RUPEE IS GOING DOWN IN ABOVE CASE. WOULD BE THANKFUL IF ANYBODY EXPLAIN HOW HIGHER VALUES ARE BULLISH AND OR THE LOWER VALUES ARE BEARISH
