India’s wholesale price inflation inched higher in June 2026, with the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) rising 9.87% year-over-year, up from 9.68% in May 2026. The latest reading, updated on 14 July 2026, indicates a continued build‑up of price pressures at the wholesale level.
Both the current and previous figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s WPI to the same month a year earlier. The slight acceleration from May to June suggests that input and producer prices remain on an upward trajectory, which could have implications for downstream consumer prices and corporate margins if the trend persists.
The data will likely be watched closely by policymakers and market participants as they assess the durability of inflationary pressures in the Indian economy and any potential impact on monetary and fiscal decision‑making in the coming months.
