"Year-on-year inflation rate based on all India Consumer Price Index (CPI) number is 4.75 per cent for the month of May 2024, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation said on Wednesday. "The CPI inflation is lowest for the month of May 2024 after May 2023. It is less than 6 per cent since September 2023," the MoSPI statement noted. The corresponding inflation rate for rural and urban is 5.28 per cent and 4.15 per cent respectively.
