In the previous week, annual food and fuel inflation stood at 8.76% and 13.53%, respectively.

The Reserve Bank of India raised interest rates by a bigger-than-expected 50 basis points on Tuesday, its ninth rate hike since March 2010, in a bid to moderate stubbornly high inflation.
The wholesale price index-based inflation, the most widely watched gauge of prices in India, rose 8.98% in March from a year earlier, higher than February's 8.31% rise.
