2026.05.1406:30:00UTC+00India’s WPI Manufacturing Inflation Accelerates to 4.62% in April 2026

India’s wholesale price index (WPI) for manufactured products rose to 4.62% year-on-year in April 2026, up from 3.39% in March 2026, signaling a notable pickup in price pressures across the country’s manufacturing sector.

The data, updated on 14 May 2026, show that manufacturing inflation is strengthening when compared with the same month a year earlier, highlighting rising input costs and firmer output prices at the factory gate. The latest reading marks a faster pace of increase than in March, when the WPI manufacturing index was also measured on a year-over-year basis.

The acceleration in manufacturing inflation will be closely watched by policymakers and markets, as it can feed into broader wholesale and eventually retail price dynamics, potentially influencing corporate margins, pricing strategies, and the outlook for monetary policy in the months ahead.
