Increased pricing pressure in the economy continues for September, as the Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation touched 8 months high. The CPI inflation has gone up from 6.7 per cent in August 2020 to 7.3 per cent in September 2020 due to the rise in vegetable prices. Vegetables witnessed an increase of 12 per cent Month-on-Month (M-o-M). Further increase in eggs (5.7 per cent M-o-M), oil & fat (1.37 per cent M-o-M), and non-alcoholic beverages (1.2 per cent M-o-M) also contributed to higher inflation.
