According to a CNBC-TV18 poll, the November WPI inflation was expected at 2.3%.
The government attributed the positive inflation rate in November to an increase in prices of food articles, food products, other manufacturing, textiles, machinery & equipment, etc.
The Wholesale Price Index or WPI measures the change in prices of goods sold and traded in bulk by wholesale businesses with other companies. Unlike the CPI which tracks prices of goods and services purchased by consumers, WPI tracks factory gate prices and retail prices.
The prices of minerals (2.10%), non-food articles (0.56%) and mineral oils (0.72%) increased in November 2024 as compared to October 2024. On the other hand, the price of food articles (-1.83%), crude petroleum & natural gas (-0.41%) and electricity generation (-0.07%) declined in November as compared to the previous month.
