NEW DELHI, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- India's wholesale price index (WPI) rose to 0.52 percent in August, data released by the federal Ministry of Commerce and Industry on Monday said.
The wholesale inflation turned positive in August after remaining negative in the past two months. The August figure marks a four-month high.
"Positive rate of inflation in August 2025 is primarily due to increase in prices of food products, other manufacturing, non-food articles, other non-metallic mineral products and other transport equipment, etc.," reads a statement issued by the ministry.
WPI inflation rate was -0.58 percent in July and -0.19 percent (final) in June. ■
