MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's core consumer price index was estimated to have risen 7.4 percent in July from a year earlier, in line with the 7.4 percent rise in June, according to a Reuters snap survey of three analysts on Tuesday.

Data earlier showed India's headline consumer price inflation accelerated to 7.96 percent last month, above the 7.4 percent expected by a Reuters poll of analysts and the 7.3 percent reported in June.
