WPI Inflation Rises Slightly, RBI Cuts Rates

Wholesale price inflation (WPI) rose slightly to -0.32% in November from -1.21% in October, mainly due to higher prices of pulses and vegetables. Deflation eased in food, fuel, and manufactured products. Low inflation has allowed the RBI to cut interest rates, while boosting India’s FY26 GDP growth projection to 7.3%.
