2026.07.1406:30:00UTC+00India’s WPI Food Inflation Accelerates to 5.49% in June, Up from 3.60% in May

India’s wholesale food price inflation climbed sharply in June 2026, with the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for food rising 5.49% year-over-year, up from 3.60% in May 2026. The data, updated on 14 July 2026, show a clear acceleration in wholesale food price pressures on an annual basis.

The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the current reading measures the change in June 2026 relative to June 2025, while the previous reading reflects May 2026 compared to May 2025. The jump from 3.60% to 5.49% suggests wholesale food prices are gaining momentum, potentially signaling increased cost pressures further down the supply chain.

While the data do not break down category-level movements, the rising wholesale food inflation could have implications for retail food prices and broader inflation dynamics in India if the trend persists in coming months.
