Retail inflation for industrial workers falls to 3.97% in April |
Retail inflation for industrial workers fell to 3.97% in April from 4.36% the previous month. In a statement in New Delhi today, Labour Ministry said the fall is mainly due to lower prices of food items.
However, All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) for April, 2018 increased by 1 point to 288.
The index is used for working out dearness allowance for central government employees and dearness relief for central pensioners.
The maximum upward pressure to the change in current index came from certain food groups, electricity charges and petrol prices.
