The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has launched the July 2026 round of the Inflation Expectations Survey of Households (IESH) to assess public perception of inflation and price movements.
The survey will be conducted across 19 cities and seeks both qualitative and quantitative responses from households on current inflation, expected price changes over the next three months, and inflation expectations over the next year based on their individual consumption patterns. The findings will serve as an important input for the RBI's monetary policy decisions.
The survey will be carried out by Hansa Research Group Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, on behalf of the RBI. While selected households will be contacted directly by the agency, individuals who are not approached can also participate by submitting their responses through the RBI's online survey platform.
