India's Service Producer Price Index Shows 31.94% Rise in Air Passenger Prices in Q1 FY27
India's newly introduced Service Producer Price Index (Service PPI) for Q1 FY27 shows a 31.94% year-on-year surge in air passenger service prices, the highest among seven tracked services. Other sectors showed mixed trends: banking and securities transaction prices declined, while pension fund management, railway, insurance, and telecom services recorded modest increases. The Service PPI, launched in June 2026 with 2022-23 as the base year, aims to improve inflation measurement at the producer level in India's service economy.
