Inflation moves up to 5.91%

Inflation rose to 5.91% during the week ended April 23 as vegetables, fruits, edible oil, industrial fuel and manufactured products became costlier.

After remaining static at 5.64% during the week ended April 16, inflation based on the wholesale price index (WPI) rose despite efforts by the RBI and the government to keep prices stable.

Inflation was at 4.32% during the same period last year.
