Core consumer price inflation seen at around 4.5% in June

This is the second consecutive month that the retail prices have cooled down

India's core annual consumer price inflation slowed to around 4.5% in June from around 4.7% in May, marking a second consecutive month of cooling retail prices outside of energy and food, according to a snap survey of five analysts on Tuesday.

Data earlier showed India's headline annual consumer price inflation edged up to 5.77% in June compared with 5.76% in May, mainly driven by higher food prices.
