India WPI inflation rises to 11.39% in September
In short
India’s wholesale price inflation rose to 11.39% in September, up from 9.9% in August. The report says fuel and food costs pushed prices higher, and retail inflation also climbed to 5.54% because vegetables got more expensive.
This matters because higher prices can hurt households and raise costs for businesses. The report says monsoon and El Nino risks may be part of the problem, but it does not confirm the full cause.
