MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's core consumer price index (CPI) was estimated to have risen around 3.9 percent in January from a year earlier, according to a Reuters snap survey of four analysts on Thursday.
Core consumer price inflation was 5.2 percent in December, although the data for January out on Thursday take into account a shift to a new base year for calculating prices.
Earlier data showed India's annual consumer inflation at 5.11 percent in January compared with 4.28 percent in December.
