India's Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for manufacturing inflation saw a notable increase in December 2025, according to the latest data updated on January 14, 2026. The WPI manufacturing inflation reached 1.82%, climbing from the previous month's figure of 1.33% recorded in November 2025.
This upsurge in the manufacturing sector's price index marks a shift in the inflationary trend, evidenced by a year-over-year comparison with the same period last year. The index's rise indicates a growing pressure on the cost structure within the manufacturing industry, as producers grapple with increasing input costs.
The data, sourced from India's economic tracking in December, highlights the fluctuations that have defined the manufacturing sector's inflationary landscape over the past months. With a focus on closing the inflationary gap witnessed in prior months, stakeholders will be keenly monitoring how this uptick influences both the domestic market and broader economic conditions. As India navigates these inflationary challenges, the implications for producers and consumers alike will be carefully analyzed and addressed.
