India's retail inflation stood at 2.57 percent in February, marginally higher than the previous month’s 2.05 percent, and sharply lower than 4.4 percent in the same month last year, primarily aided by low food prices.
Though the IIP has returned a lower number on a sequential basis, YTD growth rate average is still higher than the previous year.
