Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation measures the annual change in the price of goods sold and traded in bulk by wholesale entities to other businesses. It captures price movements at the factory gate and serves as a crucial leading indicator for consumer price inflation. This index is particularly important in emerging economies like India to monitor industrial and agricultural price pressures.
The index is calculated using a weighted average of price changes for a basket of commodities divided into three major groups: Primary Articles, Fuel and Power, and Manufactured Products.
