WPI inflation eases to 9.78% in July 2026
Wholesale Price Index (WPI)-based inflation eased marginally to 9.78% in July 2026 as food, fuel and power prices cooled. It was the first month-on-month drop in wholesale inflation recorded under the new 2022-23 base year, offering early relief to producers after a sustained run of elevated wholesale price pressure across the wider economy.
