Producer Price Index (PPI)

Introduced Alongside

A Producer Price Index (PPI) measures prices from the seller's/producer's perspective at first point of sale, excluding taxes and transport margins. It is the international standard used by most advanced economies (US BLS PPI, Eurozone). Unlike WPI, PPI captures services sectors too. India's new PPI network, launched June 15, 2026, will run parallel to WPI before eventually replacing it — aligning India's price statistics with IMF/ILO international standards.
