India, Aug. 12 -- Germany's inflation accelerated as estimated in July as the end of government's fuel tax pushed up energy prices, final data from Destatis showed Wednesday.

Consumer prices grew 2.8 percent year-on-year in July, faster than the 2.3 percent increase seen in June. The rate was the highest since April when inflation stood at 2.9 percent.

The statistical office confirmed the provisional estimate published on July 30.
