MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's core consumer price inflation in August was little changed at around 4.7 percent year-on-year from around 4.6 percent the previous month, according to two analysts on Monday.

Core inflation is a key measure for the central bank to gauge price pressure related to demand in the economy.
