The surge in inflation is mainly attributed to a 10.87% increase in food prices, driven by a 38.76% rise in vegetable prices and a 21.64% increase in pulse prices, due to the heat wave affecting crops. However, a decline in petrol and diesel prices limited the inflation in the fuel and power segment to 1.03%. Manufactured products also saw a 1.43% price increase during the month.
The food segment has a significant weight of 24.4% in the overall WPI index, contributing to the overall inflation rate.
