Retail inflation for February 2023 fell marginally to 6.44 per cent
compared to 6.52 per cent in January 2023 as commodity prices witnessed a
slight slide.
Food inflation also slid to 5.95 per cent in February 2023 compared to 6 per cent in January.
Consumer
price index (CPI) based inflation had touched 6.52 per cent in January
2023, which was a three-month high owing to higher food prices.
However
retail inflation was 6.07 per cent in February 2022, and therefore
CPI-based inflation in February 2023, at 6.44 per cent, was higher
compared to the year-ago period.
The marginal fall in retail
inflation in February 2023 was mainly due to reduction in prices of meat
and fish, egg, vegetables, pulses, and sugar.
At the same time
though, prices of fruits, clothing and footwear, education,
transportation, health and household goods went up in February 2023
compared to January 2023.
