Combined Consumer Price Index across 13 states plus the All-India benchmark, and the national Wholesale Price Index, drawn from the MoSPI connector on 18 July 2026.
CPI runs hottest in the south; WPI breaks a year of calm
Consumer Price Index — state-wise, Jan 2025 – Jun 2026
Panels share one index scale (100–110) and are ranked by latest year-on-year inflation, hottest first.
Panels are ranked by latest year-on-year inflation, hottest first — but that YoY figure is only computable for January 2026 onward in this series, since the base-year-2024 series has no 2024 comparison months to diff against. The sparkline itself still covers the full Jan 2025–Jun 2026 window; only the labeled % is limited to the last six months.

Wholesale Price Index — All India, Jan 2025 – Apr 2026
No state-level WPI series is published — WPI is compiled nationally only.
This line plots the raw index level (base 2011-12 = 100) for the 16 months the original pull covered. That framing was too pessimistic — a year-on-year rate is straightforward arithmetic on the index, and the Office of the Economic Adviser publishes the rate directly as well. The full-history panel below carries both, April 2012 to June 2026.

Wholesale Price Index — full history, April 2012 to June 2026
Index level and year-on-year inflation, both base years. YoY is computed from the index itself.
Two corrections to the 16-month chart above. First, WPI is published by the Office of the Economic Adviser, DPIIT (Ministry of Commerce & Industry) — not by MoSPI, which publishes CPI. Second, a year-on-year rate is simple arithmetic on the index (index divided by its value twelve months earlier, minus one), so there was never a reason to show only the raw level. Every YoY figure here is computed that way, and it reproduces the published rate exactly: for June 2026 it returns 9.87% headline, 7.00% Primary Articles, 27.41% Fuel & Power and 7.48% Manufactured Products — identical to the second decimal to the Office of the Economic Adviser press release of 14 July 2026. It also returns 8.36% for April 2026, matching that release's revised final estimate.
Why two lines with different bases. WPI was rebased from 2011-12 to 2022-23 inside this window. The long blue line is the 2011-12 series (April 2012 to April 2026), which is what makes a fourteen-year comparison possible at all. The green dashed line is the current official 2022-23 series (April 2023 to June 2026). Their levels are not splice-able — a rebasing resets the index to 100 on a new basket — but their inflation rates are directly comparable, which is the honest way to read across the break.

- Series update (Aug 2026): the Office of the Economic Adviser (eaindustry.nic.in) has since released May and June 2026 WPI on a new 2022-23 base — June 2026 WPI inflation printed 9.87% YoY (PIB) — so this page's Jan 2025–Apr 2026 series is the final stretch of the old 2011-12 base and is not directly comparable with the new-base releases.
- WPI's April 2026 reading (167) is a ~3.9% one-month jump versus March's 160.8 after four quarters near 154–158 — verify against an official MoSPI/RBI release before citing.
- February 2026 IIP and CPI both show mild non-monotonic wobbles state-to-state; treat single-month moves as provisional pending revision.
- RBI foreign exchange reserves lag roughly a year in this connector — the latest row returned was June 2025 even when 2026 was explicitly requested.
- CPI year-on-year inflation is only computable from January 2026 onward in the connector's base-year-2024 series, since that series has no 2024 comparison months.
