“The annual rate of inflation based on all India Wholesale Price Index (WPI) number is 2.38% (provisional) for the month of February 2025 (over February 2024). Positive rate of inflation in February 2025 is primarily due to increase in prices of manufacture of food products, food articles, other manufacturing, non-food articles and manufacture of textiles, etc,” the commerce and industry ministry said in a statement.
Meanwhile, India’s retail inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index, eased a seven-month low of 3.61 per cent in February 2025, mainly on account of lower rate of price rise in vegetables and protein-rich items, according to the official data released last week.
