The government is likely to come out with a new series of wholesale price index (WPI) in the couple of months that will give a more realistic picture of inflation in the country.
Driven primarily by higher food prices, nation's annual rate of inflation, based on the wholesale prices index, went up marginally to 9.9 percent in March from 9.89 percent a month ago, official data showed Thursday.
Now for the second consecutive month, India's Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation registered a decline, by 3.39% in October 2016 as against the corresponding month of last year.
