Inflation rises to 4.7 p.c.

NEW DELHI, MAY 28. The UPA Government's commitment to keep price rise under check notwithstanding, inflation rose to 4.67 per cent for the week ended May 15 due to surging prices of mass consumption items like vegetables, milk and edible oils.

The point-to-point Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation rose from 4.20 per cent in the previous week even as prices of fuels remained unchanged despite violent gyrations in global markets and the general prices level was as high as 6.58 per cent in the same period during 2002-03.

The WPI was 181.5 points during the week under review against 173.4 points in the previous year.
