Indien Veränderung der Erzeugerpreise

India’s wholesale prices increased by 0.52% yoy in August 2025, surpassing market forecasts of a 0.30% rise and recovering from a 0.58% decline in July, which was the sharpest drop since July 2023. This marked the highest wholesale inflation since April, primarily driven by a rebound in food prices and faster growth in manufacturing costs. Food prices rose 0.21% in August, sharply rebounding from their steepest drop since August 2015, when they fell 2.15%. The increase was led by higher prices for wheat (4.75%), milk (2.58%), and cereals (1.03%). Meanwhile, manufacturing inflation accelerated to 2.55% in August, up from 2.05% in July, marking the fastest growth in four months. Notable accelerations were observed in food products (7.15% vs. 6.74%), other non-metallic mineral products (3.00% vs. 2.69%), and tobacco products (2.22% vs. 1.81%). By contrast, fuel prices continued to decline, falling 3.17% compared to a 2.43% drop in July. Monthly, wholesale prices rose 0.52% in August.
