The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
These improvements offer the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) new tools for inflation analysis, allowing for the tracing of inflationary pressures from input costs to consumer prices, and will enable assessments of profitability in India's commodity-producing sectors, which becomes particularly critical given the upward trend in WPI and PPI starting around November 2025 and the global crisis beginning in March 2026.
