Inflation at 5.32 p.c.

NEW DELHI, MARCH 12. Inflation fell substantially by 0.62 per cent to 5.32 per cent for the week ended February 28 mainly due to fall in prices of primary items, including fruits and vegetables, and non-food articles. The point-to-point Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation fell from the previous week's near 6 per cent despite a price hike for manufactured products, notably food products, and the index was 5.49 per cent in the year-ago period.
