India's wholesale price index rose 6.68 percent in the 12 months to March 15, surging from the previous week's rise of 5.92 percent, government data showed on Friday.

The rate was well above a median forecast of 5.96 percent in a Reuters poll of analysts, and is the highest reading since January 27, 2007, when inflation was 6.69 percent.

The annual inflation rate was 6.56 percent during the corresponding week of the previous year.
