Food inflation was at 3.87%, picking up from the 3.47% in the previous month. In the meantime, inflation inched higher for restaurants and accommodation (2.88% vs 2.73% in February) and prices were unchanged for transportation (vs -0.05%), despite surges in wholesale global energy prices. From the previous month, Indian consumer prices rose by 0.26%.
