Annual inflation at 3.51% in week to Apr 1

The inflation rate was at 5.70 per cent during the corresponding week of the previous year.

India's wholesale price index rose 3.51 per cent in the 12 months to April 1, slowing from 3.96 per cent a week earlier due to lower tea and metal prices, the government said on Thursday.
