<h1>Wholesale Inflation Drops to 2.05% in March as Food Prices Ease Despite Rise in Manufacturing Costs</h1> Wholesale inflation in India declined to a 6-month low of 2.05% in March 2025, down from 2.38% in February, primarily due to easing food prices. Food inflation decreased to 1.57% from 3.38%, with significant deflation in vegetables (15.88%) and potatoes (6.77%). Onion inflation also moderated to 26.65% from 48.05%.
