India’s wholesale price index (WPI) for the manufacturing sector remained unchanged in June 2026, with year-over-year inflation holding at 7.48%, the same rate recorded in May 2026.
According to data updated on 14 July 2026, the June reading represents a like-for-like comparison with June of the previous year, while the May figure reflects the change versus May a year earlier. The stability in WPI manufacturing inflation suggests that price pressures at the factory gate have neither intensified nor eased on an annual basis between May and June.
With manufacturing a key driver of India’s industrial output, the steady inflation print at 7.48% will be closely watched by policymakers and markets as they assess cost trends feeding into broader wholesale and consumer prices in the months ahead.
