However,data on primary and fuel items would continue to be released on weekly basis.
“The new series of WPI (Wholesale Price Index) inflation with 2004-05 as base year would be launched soon,” Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.
The government intends to release the new series after November 14,he said.
