MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's core consumer inflation was about 5.7 percent in November, compared with roughly 6.1 percent in October, two analysts estimated from inflation figures released on Wednesday.

India's retail inflation rate fell to 2.33 percent in November, government data showed, due to weaker food inflation.

Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast November's annual increase in the consumer price index at 2.8 percent, compared with October's 3.31 percent.
