In the latest economic update, the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for manufacturing inflation in India has shown a slight decline, marking a modest change in the inflationary trend. For the month of June 2025, the WPI manufacturing inflation stood at 1.97%, a small yet significant drop from the previous indicator of 2.04% in May 2025, indicating a positive shift for manufacturing costs in the country.
The data, updated as of July 14, 2025, points to healthier pricing conditions in India's manufacturing sector when viewed from a year-over-year perspective. The current figures suggest a comparative improvement when measured against the same month in the previous year, aligning with the overall year-on-year analysis.
This downward trend may prove to be a pivotal moment for policymakers and stakeholders within India's economic landscape, offering some respite to manufacturers who have been grappling with fluctuating input costs. It remains to be seen how this trend will impact future policy decisions and economic forecasts for one of the world's largest and fastest-growing economies.
