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: pension fund management rose 5.20%, railway services 3.50%, insurance 0.98%, and telecom 0.72%, while banking and securities transaction services experienced deflation.
