India's Consumer Price Inflation Rises to 4.82% in August

India's consumer price inflation rose to 4.82% in August from 4.45% in July, adding to pressure on the country's central bank to raise key benchmark rates.

The headline inflation number was slightly above economists' expectations for a 4.80% rise, according to a Reuters poll. Inflation has been on the rise for 10 straight months in the world's fastest-growing economy, according to data from LSEG.
