The WPI inflation rate dropped from a record-breaking 16.63 percent in May to 15.18 percent in June. Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation was 11.57 percent in July 2021.

The more closely watched Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation dropped as predicted to a five-month low of 6.71 percent in July, according to the data of Wholesale Price Index (WPI). The Reserve Bank of India’s plans to raise interest rates are not likely to be significantly affected by the decline in CPI inflation, though. Since the beginning of May, the central bank has increased the repo rate by 140 basis points, and it is widely anticipated that it will do so once more next month as it faces the possibility of not meeting its inflation target. The following meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee is set for September 28–30.
