What's the story

India's wholesale inflation edged higher in August, touching 9.92% year-on-year compared to 9.78% in July, according to provisional data released Monday by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Under the revised 2022-23 base series, the slight uptick was driven by persistent pressures in fuel and power (22.93%) and firm manufactured goods pricing (8.37%).
