After weathering several months in the red, India's Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for food has made a significant recovery in November 2025. According to the latest data released on December 15, the WPI for food indicated an annual increase of 2.60%, a marked improvement from the -5.04% witnessed in October 2025.

This upswing reflects a noticeable year-over-year change, as October's figures represented a stark decrease from the same period the previous year. In contrast, November's findings demonstrate a positive turnaround, suggesting a stabilization in food prices across the country. Economists attribute this recovery to a combination of favorable agricultural policies and improved crop yields during the season.

The improvement in WPI food figures is expected to have broader implications for India's economy, including potential impacts on consumer prices and overall inflation rates. As policymakers continue to monitor these trends, the November data provides a glimmer of hope for stakeholders looking for signs of recovery in India's food pricing dynamics.
