MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's core consumer price index (CPI) was estimated to have risen 5.85 percent in October from a year earlier, easing from an around 5.9 percent rise in September, according to a Reuters snap survey of four analysts on Wednesday.

Two other analysts estimated core CPI at 5.80 percent.

Data earlier showed India's headline annual consumer price inflation eased for a third consecutive month in October to 5.52 percent, its lowest level since the government started releasing the data in 2012.
