What Happened
Wholesale inflation in India reached 11.39% in September, marking an increase from 9.92% in August. This rise was largely driven by increased prices in fuel, power, and food items, according to government data released by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry on Wednesday.
The increase in fuel and power inflation to 25.85% in September from 22.93% in August contributed significantly to the overall wholesale inflation. The rise in crude oil and fertilizer prices in the global market, potentially due to geopolitical events, also had an indirect impact on the domestic market.
