India's Wholesale Inflation Eases to 9.78% in July Amid Mixed Price Trends
India's wholesale price inflation eased slightly to 9.78% in July from 9.87% in June, driven mainly by a significant decline in fuel and power inflation to 20.05%. However, inflation in primary articles rose to 8.52%, and manufactured products inflation increased to 8.29%. Food inflation also rose, with the WPI Food Index reaching 6.65%. Key contributors to inflation included mineral oils, food articles, basic metals, non-food articles, and chemicals. This marks the first month-on-month decline in WPI inflation under the new 2022-23 base year.
