Inflation in India accelerated in August to its highest in over a year, driven by rising prices of food and manufactured goods, reinforcing the case for another rate hike on Friday despite weakening growth and a worsening global outlook.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The wholesale price index, India&amp;#39;s main inflation gauge, rose 9.78% in August, higher than the median forecast for a 9.6% rise in a Reuters poll and above the 9.22% recorded for July.
