|April 16, 2025
Wholesale inflation (WPI) in India stood at 2.05 per cent for the month of March 2025, down from the 2.38 per cent of the previous month, according to the data released by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry on Tuesday.
In February, the wholesale inflation stood at 2.38 per cent, according to the government data.
The positive rate of inflation in March is primarily due to an increase in the prices of manufactured food products, other manufacturing, food articles, electricity and the manufacture of textiles, etc.
The Food Index, consisting of 'food articles' from the primary articles group and 'food products' from the manufactured products group, decreased from 5.94 per cent in February 2025 to 4.66 per cent in March 2025.
