NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's annual consumer price inflation eased more than expected to a 25-month low of 8.1 percent in February, helped by moderating food prices, government data showed on Wednesday.
A Reuters poll had forecast retail inflation would slow to 8.35 percent from an annual 8.79 percent in January.
Food prices for consumers rose 8.57 percent last month from a year earlier, slower than January's provisional 9.90 percent rise.
