India's wholesale price index (WPI) reached a 13-month high in April, driven by rising costs of food, vegetables, and fuel.

Consequently, the RBI is unlikely to reduce interest rates anytime soon. https://odishasambad.in/expensive-crisis-during-the-war-increase-in-the-prices-of-food-and-fuel/ #creator program
