India's Wholesale Price Index (WPI) slipped to 9.78% in July 2026, a modest decline from 9.87% in June, according to the latest data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation released the latest Wholesale Price Index figures, showing inflation easing to 9.78% in July 2026.
This marks a slight drop from the 9.87% rate recorded in June, indicating a modest easing of price pressures at the wholesale level.
The WPI tracks price changes for goods sold by wholesalers and is a key indicator of inflationary trends in the Indian economy.
Economists note that the decline, while small, could signal a gradual slowdown in the rate of price increases across sectors.
The data will be closely watched by policymakers as they assess the trajectory of inflation and its impact on monetary policy decisions.
