Despite a rise in overall food
prices, India's annual rate of inflation based on wholesale prices eased
to 0.16 per cent in October from 0.33 per cent in September due to
lower cost of key transportation fuels and manufactured products.

furnished by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry showed a decelerating
trend, as inflation had risen to 5.54 per cent during the corresponding
period of 2018.
"Build up inflation rate in the financial year
so far was 1.92 per cent compared to a build up rate of 4.90 per cent in
the corresponding period of the previous year," the Ministry said in
its review of "Index Numbers of Wholesale Price in India" for October.
On
a sequential basis, the expenses on primary articles, which constitute
22.62 per cent of the WPI's total weightage, increased to 6.41 per cent
from 5.54 per cent.
The prices of food items increased at a faster rate of 9.80 per cent from 7.47 per cent.
However,
the cost of fuel and power, which commands 13.15 per cent weightage,
deflated by (-)8.27 per cent from a decline of (-)7.05 per cent.
