Wholesale inflation came in at (-) 1.81 percent in June 2020, due to the implementation of a stringent nationwide lockdown. “The high rate of inflation in June 2021 is primarily due to low base effect and rise in prices of mineral oils viz. petrol, diesel (HSD), naphtha, ATF, furnace oil, etc, and manufactured products like basic metal, food products, chemical products, etc as compared to the corresponding month of the previous year,” an official statement said.
According to data released by the commerce and industry ministry, food prices fell to 3.1 per cent in June from 4.31 per cent in May.
