Among the major tracked groups, Primary Articles recorded an annual inflation rate of 7.0 per cent, rising from 4.99 per cent in May.

India’s wholesale price inflation (WPI) climbed to 9.87 per cent in June 2026, up from 9.68 per cent in May, according to provisional data released by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry on Tuesday. This persistent upward movement reflects intensifying cost pressures within the domestic supply chain, driven by a broad range of industrial and agricultural inputs.

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade reported that the All India Wholesale Price Index reached 110.2 in June, compared to 109.9 in the previous month. This rise was primarily fueled by significant increases in the prices of mineral oils, food articles, basic metals, and various chemical products, which are vital components for industrial manufacturing.

Among the major tracked groups, Primary Articles recorded an annual inflation rate of 7.0 per cent, rising from 4.99 per cent in May. Conversely, inflation in the Fuel and Power sector moderated slightly to 27.41 per cent from 30.33 per cent. Meanwhile, the inflation rate for Manufactured Products remained steady at 7.48 per cent.

Wholesale food price inflation also accelerated during the month, with the WPI Food Index climbing to 6.14 per cent from 4.49 per cent in May. These adjustments provide critical insight into the changing costs faced by businesses across the nation as they navigate these economic conditions.

The provisional estimates were compiled with a weighted response rate of 82.6 per cent. Additionally, the final WPI for April 2026 was revised from 108.8 to 108.9, lifting the inflation rate to 8.36 per cent from the 8.26 per cent provisional estimate.
