- The government will introduce a revised Wholesale Price Index (WPI) series and a new Producer Price Index (PPI) series from 15 June 2026, with PPI set to replace WPI over the next five years.
- The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) will release the revised WPI with 2022–23 as the new base year, replacing the 2011–12 series.
- The new Producer Price Index (PPI) will include Output PPI, Input PPI, and Services PPI to better measure producer-level inflation.
- Initially, the Services PPI will cover seven sectors, including banking, insurance, railways, air passenger transport, and telecom.
- WPI will continue to be published alongside PPI for five years before being phased out.
