The annual rate of inflation, based on monthly wholesale price index (WPI), stood at 3.74 percent for the month of August, 2016, up from 3.55 percent in July and -5.06 percent during the corresponding month of the previous year.

  Food inflation fell to 8.23 percent against 11.82 percent in July. Vegetable inflation saw a sharp fall from 28.05 percent in July to 0.17 percent in August.  Core WPI number was estimated around 3.60 percent, which a little less than what came, but mainly the numbers are in line with expectations, says Aditi Nayar, Senior Economist, ICRA. She further said that the WPI will have a limited impact on the RBI's repo rate cut decision but ICRA expects at least one 25 basis points rate cut this year. A rate cut is more likely to happen in December rather than October, she added.
