Wholesale inflation rises 0.58 per cent in November

The rise in WPI during November was attributed to a rise in the prices of food articles.

The rate of price rise for food articles rose to 11 per cent during November as against 9.80 a month earlier, while for non-food articles it eased 1.93 per cent from 2.35 per cent in October, according to Ministry of Commerce and Industry’s data.

For manufactured products, the wholesale inflation remained static (-)0.84 per cent during the month under review.

The consumer price index (CPI) based retail inflation rose to over a three-year high of 5.54 per cent in November due to rise in food products like vegetables, pulses and protein-rich items, according to the data released the last week.
