      Solution

      What is the difference between CPI and WPI? WPI tracks inflation at the producer level and CPI captures changes in prices levels at the consumer level. WPI does not capture changes in the prices of services, which CPI does. In WPI, more weightage is given to manufactured goods, while in CPI, more weightage is given to food items.
