Wholesale Price Index inflation rose to 1.81 percent in January 2026, marking the highest level recorded in the previous ten months. The rise in WPI inflation was primarily driven by an increase in food prices and a rise in core inflation. The data was released by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

Wholesale inflation measures price changes at the producer or wholesale level and serves as an important indicator of supply-side inflationary pressures in the economy.
