In addition, skyrocketing prices of some farm produce such as garlic has been curbed as the government's crackdown on speculation has proven effective. Summer grain is also likely to see a bumper harvest, it said.
The CPI rose 3.1 percent year on year in May, up 0.3 percentage points from April's 2.8 percent.
