Indian annual inflation at 3.36 pct on Feb. 14
NEW DELHI, Feb 26 (Reuters) - India's wholesale price index INWPI=ECI rose 3.36 percent in the 12 months to Feb. 14, below the previous week's annual rise of 3.92 percent, government data showed on Thursday.
It was slightly above a median forecast in a Reuters poll of analysts of 3.31 percent.
The annual inflation rate was 5.66 percent during the corresponding week of the previous year.
The wholesale price index is more closely watched than the consumer price index, which is published monthly, because it covers a higher number of products and is released weekly. (Reporting by Surojit Gupta; Editing by Mark Williams)
