India's WPI inflation eases to 9.78%, but only fuel cooled and the rest hardened
India's wholesale inflation slipped to 9.78% in July from 9.87%, but the relief was narrow: fuel and power eased to 20% while primary articles (8.52%) and manufactured goods (8.29%) accelerated, with non-food articles up 17.66%. Economists see WPI averaging near 8.5% through FY27.
