New Delhi, Mar 12 : Inflation has fallen to a more than a six-year low of 2.43 per cent for the week ended February 28, against the previous week's 3.03 per cent, government data showed on Thursday.

While, the prices of maize, arhar dal and moong dal declined by one per cent each, prices of fuel remained unchanged at the previous week's level.
