Inflation declined to 4.07 per cent for the week ended February 2 as against 4.11 per cent in the previous week. This is mainly due to fall in prices of some food items, jet fuel, and select manufactured goods.
According to official figures released today during the week under review, prices of fruits and vegetables, arhar, masoor, condiments and spices declined, while fish-marine and maize became dearer. Among manufacture products, khandsari, and bread and buns moved up.
