Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said on Thursday there is no need for unnecessary panic on inflation.


Food inflation in the year to January 1 stood at 16.91%, data on Thursday showed, easing marginally from 18.3%, recorded in late December, which was the highest in more than a year.

High food inflation is a major headache for a government already battling multi-billion dollar corruption cases that have emboldened the opposition.
