India’s wholesale price inflation (WPI) accelerated to 1.81% YoY in January 2026, the highest in nine months. This uptick signals renewed cost pressures across segments, driven by manufactured products and primary articles. Rising base metal prices indicate strengthening global commodity demand and resilience in domestic industrial activity.
• Manufactured products inflation reflects increased input costs.
• Primary articles inflation suggests food-related pressures are resurfacing.
• Fuel and power prices remained stable, providing some cushioning.
