Following the moderation in retail inflation, wholesale inflation in India also registered a decline in January 2025, as per the latest government data.

The annual inflation rate, based on the all-India Wholesale Price Index (WPI), stood at 2.31 per cent (provisional) for January, showing a marked decrease compared to previous months. According to the figures released on Friday, the WPI inflation rate continues to reflect positive growth, primarily due to rising prices in sectors such as food product manufacturing, food articles, textiles, non-food articles, and other manufacturing industries.
