The Government of India released the Producer Price Index (PPI) data and a revised Wholesale Price Index (WPI) series.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures changes in prices received by producers before goods and services reach final consumers.
India's new framework includes Output PPI, Trial Input PPI, and Service PPI.
The revised Wholesale Price Index (WPI) uses 2022-23 as the base year, replacing the 2011-12 base year, and the item basket has increased from 697 to 957 items.
The Service Producer Price Index (Service PPI) initially covers seven sectors, including banking, insurance, railways, air passenger transport, and telecom services.
The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) will be published together for five years, after which the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) will be phased out.
