04 Aug 2011 Evaluate

India’s food inflation after cooling off to a 20 month low in the previous week has again surged as the Food Articles group rose 8.04% in the week ended July 23 compared to 7.33% in the previous week, just after RBI stunned last week by raising interest rates by 50 basis points, showing unexpected resolve in fighting persistently high inflation that had quickened to 9.44 per cent in June.

According to the data released by Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the index for Food Articles group declined by 0.6% to 192.2 (Provisional) from 193.3 (Provisional) for the previous week from the previous week level of 191.7. The index for 'Non-Food Articles' declined by 0.9% to 174.9 (Provisional) from 176.4 for the previous week.

The index for primary articles group which has the highest weightage of 20.12% in WPI declined  by 0.6% for the week at 196.9 (Provisional) from 198.0 in the previous week.

The annual rate of inflation, calculated on point to point basis, stood at 10.99 percent (Provisional) for the week ended June 23, 2011 as compared to 10.49 percent for the previous week ended July 16, 2011. 

While, the index and annual rate of inflation on point to point basis for Fuel & Power group which occupies 14.91% weight age in WPI remained unchanged at their previous week’s level of 165.6 (Provisional) and 12.12 percent (Provisional) for the previous week.

The recent rate hike was the RBI's 11th since March 2010, and the RBI Governor Duvvuri Subbarao had said that the country needs to raise interest rates to restrain inflation even at the cost of some sacrifice to growth, reinforcing expectations that more rate hikes were in the offing
