On a monthly basis, consumer prices moved up 2.5 percent in March, and matched the initial estimates.
At the same time, the consumer price inflation came in at 3.3 percent during the month, in line with the initial projection. Month-on-month, consumer prices edged up 0.5 percent in March as expected earlier.
Core inflation, adjusted for energy goods and fresh food, rose to 2.3 percent in March from 2.2 percent in February, the agency said.
