NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's wholesale price inflation in July eased to a five-month low of 5.19 percent, helped mainly by a moderation in fuel costs, government data showed on Thursday.
The rise in the wholesale price index (WPI) compared with a 5.10 percent year-on-year jump forecast by economists in a Reuters poll. In June, wholesale prices rose 5.43 percent year-on-year, their slowest pace in four months.
The reading for May WPI inflation was revised to 6.18 percent from 6.01 percent earlier.
