India's WPI inflation contracts 0.32% in November
India's wholesale prices dropped by 0.32% in November 2025 compared to last year, according to new government data.
This is a smaller dip than October's 1.21% fall, showing price drops are slowing down—even though some sectors saw monthly increases.
What's moving prices?
The drop was primarily driven by decreases in food prices, mineral oils, and crude petroleum & natural gas, with the latter sliding 1.62% from last month.
But food prices actually went up a bit—pushing the WPI Food Index higher and making food deflation less severe than before.
Some sectors on the rise
Even with overall lower prices, minerals jumped by 4.5%, food articles rose by 2.5%, and non-food articles edged up by 1.28% from October to November.
So while things are still cheaper than last year overall, certain goods are getting pricier month-to-month—something to watch if you're keeping an eye on costs or planning a budget!
