In June 2024, India's Wholesale Price Index (WPI) experienced a year-on-year increase of 3.36%. This rise was primarily driven by higher prices in food articles, manufactured food products, crude petroleum & natural gas, and mineral oils. The overall WPI for all commodities increased to 153.9, based on the 2011-12 base year, marking a 0.39% rise from May 2024. The significant factors contributing to this inflation rate include a noticeable increase in the prices of primary articles and manufactured products.
