About — Wholesale Price Index
The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) measures the average change in prices of goods traded in bulk at the wholesale level, excluding taxes and retail margins. It serves as a key indicator of inflationary trends for policymakers and businesses. For example, India's WPI rose 2.5% year‑on‑year in March 2024.
