India's Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation in December eased marginally to 5.7 per cent, staying within the Reserve Bank of India's tolerance range of 2-6 per cent. 

In November, CPI, also called retail inflation, was at eleven-month low of 5.88 per cent. For October it was 6.7 per cent and 7.14 per cent in September. In December 2021, retail inflation was 5.66 per cent.

Lower food prices, particularly the fall in vegetable prices, helped keep inflation within the tolerance range.
