Over the last few months India has been fighting with rising prices of daily use items including food, vegetables and eatable oils.
Despite some serious initiatives taken by federal government, the inflation rate has been going up continuously during the last few weeks.
During the week, the price of tea went up by three per cent, milk by one per cent, sunflower oil by four per cent, vanaspati by two per cent and imported edible oil, salt mustard oil by one per cent each.
Analysts believe that the country’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which has already increased repo rates, may increase rates further to curb inflation.
