Headline retail inflation for February is estimated to have climbed further, largely due to the food and beverages segment, economists said. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation may have been at 3.11% year-on-year in February, up from 2.75% in January and 1.15% in December, according to the median of an FE poll of economists. This would mean the key inflation figure might have stayed below the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) medium-term target of 4% for the 13th consecutive month.
