In India, the wholesale price index (WPI) is the main measure of inflation. The WPI measures the price of a representative basket of wholesale goods. In India, wholesale price index is divided into three groups: Fuel and Power (13.2 percent), Primary Articles (22.6 percent of total weight) and Manufactured Products (64.2 percent). Food Articles from the Primary Articles Group account for 15.2 percent of the total weight. The most important components of the Manufactured Products Group are Basic Metals (9.7 percent of total weight); Food products (9.1 percent); Chemicals and Chemical products (6.5 percent) and Textiles (4.9 percent).

Latest Updates

India’s wholesale prices fell 0.32% year-on-year in November 2025, compared with expectations of a 0.6% decline and following a 1.21% drop in October. This marked the second consecutive monthly decline in wholesale prices, though at a softer pace, after the previous month recorded the steepest fall since July 2023. The softer decline was mainly driven by a moderated fall in food prices (-2.60% vs. -5.04% in October), amid lower prices for onions (-64.70%), potatoes (-36.14%), vegetables (-20.33%), and pulses (-15.21%). Fuel prices also posted a softer decline (-2.27% vs. -2.55% in October), weighed down by lower prices for LPG (-12.78%), petrol (-1.75%), and HSD (-1.64%). Additionally, manufacturing inflation eased to 1.33% from 1.54% in October, marking the softest pace since September 2024. Notable slowdowns were recorded in food products (0.62% vs 1.76%), pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemical and botanical products (1.39% vs 1.88%), and cement, lime & plaster (0.08% vs 2.48%).
