DS/GK
Wholesale Price Index shows modest rise in primary articles while fuel and power inflation remained unchanged, affecting wholesale inflation trends. Wholesale Price Index weekly data show Primary Articles rose modestly while Fuel & Power remained unchanged. Primary Articles' increase reflected small rises across Food Articles, Non Food Articles and Minerals, producing a higher point to point annual inflation rate for that major group. Food movements were mixed with some cereals, fruits, pulses and milk contributing upward pressure while several vegetables and condiments declined. Fuel & Power's stability masked itemwise variations: light diesel and bitumen rose and aviation turbine fuel fell. of Press 'Enter' after typing page number.
