India's wholesale inflation drops to -0.13% in June on food, fuel prices
Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation dipped to -0.13 per cent in June, from 0.39 per cent in May, marking the first negative reading since the beginning of the year. The drop was largely driven by deflationary trends in food articles, fuel and power, and basic metals, according to the data released by the Commerce and Industry ministry on Monday. WPI-based inflation has been steadily easing since March and hit a 14-month low of 0.39 per cent the previous month. The WPI measures the average change in prices of goods sold in bulk and serves as a key indicator of inflation at the producer level. It reflects supply and demand trends across sectors such as agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. The WPI for all commodities stood at 153.8 in June, down from 154.1 in May. On a month-over-month basis, the index declined 0.19 per cent—a sharper fall compared to the 0.06 per cent contraction in May. WPI Food Index The food index, which comprises the majority of the WPI basket, declined by 0.26 per cent year-on-year, reversing the 1.72 per cent increase seen in May. This came despite a month-on-month increase in the Food Index to 190.2 from 189.5, supported by higher prices of vegetables, fruits, and milk. However, on an annual basis, vegetable prices were down, with the onions prices falling 33.49 per cent, and potatoes declining by 32.67 per cent. Fuel and power Fuel and power prices also softened, with the group index declining 2.65 per cent year-on-year. Within this category, electricity prices dropped 9.10 per cent sequentially. Petrol and diesel fell 6.57 per cent and 5.12 per cent respectively in Jne 2025 compared to the same month last year. RBI FY26 inflation forecast The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) anticipates inflation to remain moderate. In its last monetary policy meeting, the central bank projected retail inflation at 3.7 per cent for FY26, down from its earlier estimate of 4 per cent. The quarterly inflation forecasts are as follows: Q1 FY26: 2.9 per cent Q2 FY26: 3.4 per cent Q3 FY26: 3.9 per cent Q4 FY26: 4.4 per cent While favourable trends in food production and commodity prices support this outlook, the RBI cautioned that weather-related disruptions and changing global tariffs could still pose inflationary risks.

India-US trade deal: Opening India's dairy sector to America could cause huge losses; 'Rs 1.03 lakh crore annually…'
India-US trade deal: India has hardened its stance on opening its dairy and agriculture sector to the US. (AI image) India-US trade deal: Even as India and the US look to finalise an interim trade deal, dairy and agriculture continue to be sticky issues. India has hardened its stance on opening its dairy and agriculture sector to the US, a move experts say is necessary as opening the dairy sector may cause huge losses. A recent State Bank of India (SBI) analysis reveals that Indian dairy farmers could face annual losses of Rs 1.03 lakh crore if the sector opens to US imports. India's dairy industry is integral to its rural economy, generating approximately 2.5-3 per cent of the national Gross Value Added (GVA), equivalent to Rs 7.5-9 lakh crore. The sector provides employment to about 8 crore individuals directly, creating one employment opportunity for every Rs 1 lakh contribution to GVA.

Top 10 developments to track Why India Shouldn't Open Up Dairy Sector The SBI analysis highlights concerns about the impact on small-scale dairy farmers' income, noting the substantial subsidies received by the American dairy industry. According to the SBI report quoted by ANI, "If the dairy sector is opened up, price of milk in India is likely to drop by at least 15 per cent which could cause potential annual loss of Rs 1.03 lakh crore to dairy farmers." SBI's report underscores the substantial risks to Indian farmers' income from US dairy competition, suggesting that India's milk imports could rise by approximately 25 million tonnes per year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo According to the analysis, a 15 per cent reduction in milk prices would adversely affect farmers' earnings and diminish the industry's economic significance. The calculated GVA reduction would reach Rs 0.51 lakh crore, considering expenses for inputs including feed, fuel, transportation and uncompensated family workforce. Also Read | 'Unnecessary trade barriers…': US hits out at India's dairy certificate requirements at WTO; raises issue amidst trade deal talks The analysis additionally indicated benefits from enhanced India-US trade relationships in alternative sectors. Currently, India's exports of premium agricultural products, including organic food and spices to the US, are below $1 billion, with scope for expansion beyond $3 billion, considering US market demand. Fresh produce exports, including mangoes, litchis, bananas, and okra, could experience significant growth upon the removal of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) restrictions. The lifting of non-tariff barriers presents an opportunity to enhance exports of Ayush products and generic medicines, potentially increasing revenue by $1-2 billion. The anticipated advantages include simplified visa procedures, expanded outsourcing prospects, American investments in cold storage facilities and precision farming technologies, alongside reduced costs for agricultural necessities such as feed, equipment, and veterinary supplies. The analysis indicated that whilst liberalising the dairy sector could foster enhanced economic and strategic partnerships with the US, it is crucial to consider the potential negative effects on the livelihoods of millions of Indian farmers.
