What are the major causes of rising wholesale inflation in India? Discuss its impact on the Indian economy and suggest measures to control it.

Explain how rising wholesale prices increase production costs and may eventually contribute to retail inflation.
Facts to remember: September 2026 WPI inflation: 11.39%; fuel and power: 25.85%; food inflation: 8.66%.
Do not confuse WPI with CPI. WPI tracks wholesale prices, while CPI measures consumer prices and is the RBI's primary inflation-targeting indicator.
