Inflation fell to 0.44 per cent for the week ended March 7 from 2.43 per cent in the previous week, according to the Wholesale Price Index, the most watched cost-of-living measure.

India's inflation rate has fallen from a 13-year high of 12.91 per cent last August due to a slump in oil and other global commodity prices as well as the effects of the worldwide slowdown. -- AFP
