14.09.202606:30:00UTC+00India’s WPI Fuel Inflation Accelerates to 22.93% in August 2026

India’s wholesale price index (WPI) for fuel continued its upward trajectory in August 2026, with annual inflation in the fuel component rising to 22.93% year-over-year. This marks a notable acceleration from July 2026, when WPI fuel inflation stood at 20.05% on a year-over-year basis.

The August reading, updated on 14 September 2026, indicates that wholesale fuel prices are increasing at a faster pace than in the previous month when compared with the same periods a year earlier. The “actual” figure for August reflects the change in fuel prices versus August of the previous year, while the “previous” figure captures July’s change relative to July a year earlier. The data underscore persistent price pressures in India’s fuel segment, which can have broader implications for production costs and overall inflation dynamics in the economy.
