India wholesale inflation rises to 11.39% in September
In short
India’s wholesale inflation rose to 11.39% in September, after 9.92% in August. The reports say higher fuel and power prices, along with faster food inflation, pushed prices up at the factory gate.
This matters because higher wholesale prices can feed into costs for businesses and consumers. The reporting does not say what the next policy move will be.
