In October last year, it was 1.27 per cent.

Last month's inflation was the highest since April, when it was 3.85 per cent.

The government data released on Tuesday showed that inflation in food articles more than doubled to 4.30 per cent in October.

For vegetables, it soared to 36.61 per cent last month as against 15.48 per cent in September.

In case of onions, inflation skyrocketed to 127.04 per cent, while for the eggs, meat and fish segment the rate of price rise was 5.76 per cent.

In the fuel and power segment, inflation rose to 10.52 per cent, as against 9.01 per cent in September.
