This study has examined the relationship between inflation and economic growth (GDP) in India. The study is applied an ex-post research design and some preliminary tests were performed to ensure data stationery, and also ascertain how well the series was distributed. Also, the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) has adopted for explaining the former and descriptive statistics. Johansson Co-Integration technique has been used to estimate macroeconomic variables like GDP, inflation dependent and independent variables. It is conformed that there is positive long run relationship between variables like GDP and inflation. Finally, the study recommended that government should adopt a tight monetary policy to maintain a low-level rate of inflation in the country from time to time. In addition, the government should maximise spending more on productive projects than on unproductive public spending to ensure fiscal stability and sustain robust economic growth in the Indian economy.
