"Inflation is expected to rise largely due to the general rise in food prices. Inflation falling below zero per cent has been postponed for a while now, may be until early June," said Deepali Bhargava, an economist with ING Vysya Bank said.

The index had been on a downward trend since last September, after a fall in global commodity prices, but steadied in March and has moved upward in the past two readings.

The weekly wholesale price index is more closely watched than the monthly consumer price index (CPI) because it includes more products and is published on a more frequent basis.

Hmm so despite slowdown everywhere indian economy is showing growth signs as growth in inflation percent nearly shows that consumer spending has not been hit amid global economic crises , One reason for growth of indian economy is (according to me) is the black economy which runs in parallel in india but is not shown in the audit books of the firms, so atleast some advantage of black money in these crucial crises times.....

wait for the next post dedicated to "parallel black economy of india"
