NEW DELHI, Feb 22: India’s annual inflation rate accelerated to a six-month high, driven by rising food prices, data showed on Friday, with prices expected to increase further due to a fuel hike.

Inflation climbed to a higher-than-expected 4.35 per cent for the week ended Feb 9 from 4.07 per cent the previous week, according to the wholesale price index, India’s most watched cost-of-living monitor. —AFP
