Last year, in December, CPI stood at 4.59%. A sharp rise in food inflation and unyielding inflation in the segments like fuel and miscellaneous components – led to an uptick in the CPI.

Further, India’s Industrial Production (IIP) growth pulled back to 1.4% in November 2021 compared to 4% growth in the previous month. The quick estimates of the index stood at 128.5. The factory output is at nine months low in November this year.
