On the macroeconomic front, retail inflation accelerated to seven per cent in August driven by high food and fuel costs, while factory output plunged to a four-month low of 2.4 per cent.
The Indian finance ministry on Monday attributed the rise in inflation to base effect and increase in food and fuel prices, and stressed that initiatives taken by the government to curb price rise will be felt more significantly in the coming months.
