India's Wholesale Price Inflation Rises to 0.83% in December 2025

India's wholesale price inflation rose to 0.83% year-on-year in December 2025, marking an eight-month high and ending two months of deflation. The increase was driven by higher prices in manufactured products, non-food articles, minerals, and food items, while fuel and power sectors remained in deflation. Food inflation stabilized at 0%, with deflation easing in vegetables and cereals. Retail inflation also rose to 1.33% in December. The Reserve Bank of India has cut policy rates amid low inflation and expects modest inflation increases ahead.
